Renting a flat in Sapporo
Sapporo is the capital of Hokkaido, a planned grid city with snowy winters and cool summers. Rents are low for a major Japanese city, and the subway and streetcar make car-free living practical.
Areas to look at
- Odori: central park and shopping
- Susukino: nightlife district
- Maruyama: leafy, near the park and shrine
- Sapporo Station: business area, transport hub
Local rules
- Homes registered under the 2017 Private Lodging Business Act may host paying guests for up to 180 days a year; operating beyond that needs a hotel/inn licence or a special-zone permit. Local ordinances can restrict days further. (source, 2026)
