Since everyone is posting their favorite underground pedestrian walkways, I’ll share the ones from Sapporo which blew my mind:

I spent a day in Sapporo once and was initially confused at where all the people were. Streets were almost devoid of life. Then I found out about these underground tunnels and it clicked, that’s where everyone was, walking underground.

When I visited Hakata, there were many of these places underground too. The lack of light made it feel like it would be annoying if you worked there but the lack of noise and traffic made it a nice way of walking across the centre of Fukuoka.
