Sapporo tsunagu yokocho (izakaya valley-15 restaurant )

Sapporo Tsunagu Yokocho is a space where several izakaya gather to sell drinks and food, located directly next to Sapporo Station. Most tables are for two people, and young Japanese office workers drink there. Sounds and vibrations travel through the venue each time a train passes overhead, and you can talk with staff while looking around the various shops. The distance to the next table is close enough that conversations can be heard, making it loud.
