If you are an artist looking for art supplies, a student or teacher needing supplies for school, an office worker looking for something to spruce up the office, or even a place to grab some lunch, Central has it all! Central which is located (conveniently) in central Sapporo is right next to Parco. There are six floors in this large building. This place is hugely convenient and will cater to any supplies you need. Importantly, if you are looking pictures to be framed, then there is a framing corner to get that done. Central is really the Mecca for art supplies.

 

Going floor by floor let’s start at the bottom. The B1 basement floor has a huge variety of colored paper, printing paper, and personal seal stamps to buy, and a small restaurant to have some lunch. The ground floor has birthday cards, stickers and toys. The second floor has all school supplies and office supplies, things for the desk, diaries and ledgers. The third floor is packed full of art supplies, and it has a framing corner and picture frames. The fourth floor has a ramen restaurant, and Japanese arts and crafts. This floor is a secret spot for a great souvenir. The seventh floor is next for public access and has an art gallery here.
