I took the 1st train to be in time for Peach flight for Sapporo. Since it was domestic flight, I was able to board the aircraft without hurry, even though I reached Kansai International Airport 1 hour before departure time.
After arriving at New Chitose airport(Sapporo), I rode an airport rapid train for Sapporo.

A few minutes walk from the station let me notice that observation of the brewery needs pre-reservation. So, I decided to eat lamb chop for lunch at restaurant in the brewery.

Lunch
After lunch, I went to Clock Tower in Sapporo by the following route.
Sapporo beer Teien→JR Chitose Line→Shin-Sapporo→Subway Tozai Line→Odori
Sapporo Municipal Subway 8000series in Shin-Sapporo
The clock tower is one of the earliset building in Sapporo City. That's why this facility is well-known local tourist attraction.

Signboard of Sapporo Municipal Subway is similar to that of Osaka
Though the nearest station to the zoo is Maruyama Koen, it takes more than 15 minutes to get to the zoo from the station. So, I took bus for the zoo.
Cherry blossom was in full bloom in the zoo.

I went back to Maruyama Koen, and took train for the terminus of Tozai Line, Miyanosawa.
Near the station, Ishiya chocolate factory is located and it's renovated to be a tourist attraction.

Chocolate factory(Shiroikoibito Park)
After hanging out in the factory, I went to today's hotel around Susukino to leave heavy baggage.
I went out to downtown of Susukino, only to be complained by my girl friend, because there were a lot of adult entertainment facilities around there.
I ate Sapporo noodle in shopping arcade.
Today's last tourist attraction was Sapporo TV Tower.
