Post

In Sapporo, post offices typically operate from 9am to 5pm on weekdays, with some larger branches also open on Saturdays from 9am to 12:30pm. Post offices in Japan provide a wide range of services beyond standard mail handling, including domestic and international mailing, parcel delivery, express mail services, and the sale of postage stamps and packaging materials. In addition, many post offices offer banking services such as money transfers. Recognising a post office in Sapporo is straightforward, thanks to the distinctive Japan Post symbol, a stylised red '〒', which is prominently displayed on the building’s exterior. This symbol, along with the words 'Japan Post' or '郵便局' (yūbinkyoku) in Japanese, makes the post offices easily identifiable. The buildings are typically painted in white and red.
