Sapporo OMO3 Hotel Experience: Unlock the hidden joy of "🍜Half-portion Ramen"!
As a foodie who loves Citywalk, my experience at Sapporo OMO3 completely refreshed my understanding of "staying in a hotel" - it turns out that there is so much fun in a hotel!
If you also like to go to the streets to find local flavors, this "non-serious review" may be able to plant some seeds for you~

Location: Happy home for ramen lovers
The hotel is located in Susukino, the core area of Sapporo's nightlife.
Go downstairs and turn left to Tanukikoji Shopping Street.
Turn right and walk for 5 minutes to Yuanzu Ramen Yokocho - a "magical alley" with more than 20 ramen restaurants.
What’s even more amazing is that, with the OMO3 room card, you can unlock the “half portion of ramen” privilege here!
One bowl becomes half a bowl,
Easily check in at 3 stores,
This person with difficulty making choices is delighted!
(After all, Yokocho’s miso, soy sauce, and salt-flavored ramen are so popular that adults must have them all!)

Design: Like living in Sapporo’s living room
Unlike traditional hotels,
OMO3’s lobby is more like a traveler’s base:
Wood-tone design + local hand-painted maps,
Instantly stimulate your desire to explore.
Although the room is small (about 15 square meters), it is cleverly laid out - it is fully equipped with a massage shower, smart toilet, air purifier, and free WiFi.
What particularly caught my attention was the "OMO Surrounding Map".
The hotel narrowed down 600 restaurants out of 3,500 in Susukino,
and categorized them into "Ramen", "Genghis Khan BBQ", and "Final Parfait".
You can eat the same way!

How to play: Hidden dungeons led by locals
OMO3's killer feature is "OMO Ranger" - a real-life live map!
The young lady took us through the alleys and found a late-night ramen restaurant with only counter seats. The boss told us stories about crab fishing in Hokkaido while cooking noodles. It was much more interesting than the Internet celebrity restaurants.
When checking out, we also got a free shuttle bus to the cooperating Sapporo International Ski Resort,
which seamlessly connects to our winter itinerary~

Foodie test: Is half a portion of ramen really delicious?
Proven and effective!
I used my room card to exchange for half a portion of miso butter corn ramen (rich soup + sweet corn) at Yokocho,
then moved to the soy sauce seafood ramen next door (the soup was so fresh that it made you smack your lips),
and finally finished with salt-flavored barbecued pork ramen.
I could finish three bowls without any pressure!
It is recommended to come during off-peak hours.
After 10pm, many locals come to eat noodles after drinking, and the atmosphere is full of fireworks.

Avoidance Guide
The room is generally soundproof: you can hear the noise from the izakaya downstairs late at night, so light sleepers are advised to bring earplugs.
The breakfast is very simple: only bread and coffee, but Nijo Market is just 200 meters away, wouldn’t the seafood bowl be delicious?
Choose carefully if you have space anxiety: a large suitcase is indeed cramped when unfolded, so it is suitable for those who travel light.

Why choose OMO3?
Compared to a standard hotel, this place is more like a starter for urban exploration - connecting local experiences with half a portion of ramen and unlocking hidden gameplay with Ranger. Especially suitable for:
✅ Lazy people who want to go shopping and eat in depth but are too lazy to make a guide
✅ Young players with limited wallets but pursuing experience
✅ "Fake Sapporo people" trying to blend into local life
Living in OMO3 is like opening a blind box,
You never know what surprises you will encounter in the next half bowl of ramen.
After all, isn’t the meaning of traveling to turn the “must-go” places in the travel guide into your own “favorites”?
(P.S. It is said that some shops in Yokocho are still open at 3 am, night owls, go!)
