Every time I was in Sapporo I would avoid going up the tower. But, I finally decided to go there to have a look at the view. I spend about 40 mins in the tower, the admission fee is 720 Yen per adult and once you’re up there, a member of staff will try to get you to pose for a picture and then later they’ll ask if you want to buy it for a small fee. It wasn’t too busy on the day, and the view was very pretty – Just in time for the sunset.
The mascot is quite an interesting one. He’s called Terebi Tosan (テレビ父さん) Television Dad, who looks more like a red chilly to me than the tower itself but, funny looking. He’s got the expression of being very relaxed and happy. In the tower shop there’s a lot of merchandise, and Terebi Tosan even has his own little shrine!
Overall, a very good experience. The view especially, was fantastic. Got to see the whole of Odori Park.

One of my favorite parts of the tower is that if you take the stairs instead of the elevator there are signs in the stairwell that congratulate you for taking the harder route.
