In a space modeled after a traditional “Cise” (Ainu house), you can wear ethnic attire and capture memorable photos that reflect the spirit of Hokkaido. - Learn the profound meaning of “Hinna” (gratitude) by preparing the traditional dish, “Chitatap.” Using a Makiri (small knife) to chop ingredients, you will experience the Ainu philosophy of respecting nature and ensuring that no part of its gifts goes to waste. - Explore the vibrant Nijo Market, known as Sapporo’s Kitchen, and select your own premium Horsehair Crab. With your guide by your side, enjoy lively interactions with local vendors as you pick out the finest seasonal seafood to be enjoyed later. - Savor your freshly purchased market seafood right away at a restaurant. This tour provides the perfect setting to immediately enjoy the flavors you selected at the market, offering a seamless transition from shopping to dining.
