About this audio guide
This guide to the JR Tower Observatory T38 in Sapporo starts with a title the tower held from 2003 until a neighbour took it in December 2023. Along the way you'll look down on the railway station the tower is built over, then out across the Meiji-era street grid toward Odori Park, the TV Tower and Susukino. Best heard on the thirty-eighth floor, starting at the east windows.
