A short stop before your train
Leave time to return to your platform before the train departs. Decide what to buy in advance and allow extra checkout time for wrapped gifts.
Daimaru Sapporo guide: food hall, Pokémon Center & dining
Plan a shopping stop by Sapporo Station with food gifts, the Pokémon Center, dining and baby-care breaks in one building. Check the floor locations and their different closing times.
Official information reviewedWhere should I start?
Plan around B1 for food gifts, 4F for baby care and 8F for the Pokémon Center and restaurants. The Pokémon Center and dining area have different hours despite sharing a floor. Check closing times before leaving shopping until after dinner.
Compare the options for your trip
Character shopping with children
Agree on a budget and a backup choice if a favourite item is sold out. Visiting the store does not guarantee limited items or stock.
An indoor plan for snow or rain
Keep the outing centred on station-linked shopping. Check entrance hours and lifts before moving to another building; an indoor route is not automatically step-free.

Connected to JR Sapporo Station
Daimaru lists a direct connection to JR Sapporo Station. It also warns of road and parking changes around station construction, so drivers should check current access rather than rely on an old route. Rail passengers should follow the current department-store signs on arrival.
Check official details ↗Pokémon Center closes at 20:00; dining runs later
General shopping and the 8F Pokémon Center are listed at 10:00–20:00; the 8F dining area opens 11:00–22:00. Some service counters close earlier. The store may end acceptance before closing when busy, so a late arrival is not a guaranteed opportunity to shop.
Check official details ↗Food gifts and sit-down meals
Use B1 Hoppe Town for food shopping and 8F for the restaurant floor. Choose gifts around storage needs, use-by dates and travel time. For a meal with children, ask the individual restaurant about seating and menus rather than relying on the floor listing alone.
Check official details ↗Baby-care room and play area on 4F
The 4F baby-care room lists nursing and changing facilities and hot water for formula. The play area is beside the Stella Place connection. Ask at 1F Information about stroller loans, including the age limit and current availability.
Check official details ↗Finish with food gifts
JapanPin suggestion: if character shopping is the main reason for visiting, do it first, add care and meal breaks, then finish with food gifts. If you are continuing to another sight, decide how you will carry your purchases before adding that stop.
Questions before you go
Do the restaurants and Pokémon Center close together?
No. Their standard closing times differ. Finish essential shopping before dinner and check notices for your date.
Must I go outside from JR Sapporo Station?
The official guide lists a direct station connection. Follow current signs for connecting routes and lifts.
