About Us
Welcome to ICHIBAN NO MACHI. We are an independent media group, providing original, local content on Sapporo and Hokkaido.
ICHIBAN NO MACHI is Japanese for “#1 City.”
The goal of ICHIBAN NO MACHI is to introduce our readers to some of our favorite business in Sapporo, giving you an insider’s view of why we think Sapporo is the “best city in the whole world.” We provide local reviews of Sapporo restaurants and other businesses. Unlike some big, corporate websites, we are not trying to show every restaurant and bar in Sapporo. Instead, we provide a short list of carefully chosen recommendations of places to visit in Sapporo, with personal reviews, and hundreds of original photos.
ICHIBAN NO MACHI is for visitors. It’s for locals. And it is made with love, in Sapporo, the best city in the world.
And if you have comments, suggestions, or recommendations for our staff, please send us an email.
