JR Tower Observatory T38
High-rise observation deck stacked directly above a working train station, with floor-to-ceiling views over the whole island.
This guide to JR Tower Observatory T38 in Sapporo starts with a strange sensation: riding the elevator here feels less like entering a building than climbing through the roof of a train station. It traces how JR Tower sits directly above Sapporo Station's south entrance, stacking offices, a hotel and shops across three sections nicknamed West, Center and East. You'll hear the numbers behind that footprint, and the 55-second, no-stop elevator ride from the sixth floor of the mall up to floor thirty-eight. Step off your train and ride straight up to the glass-walled deck above the platform you just arrived on.
