How it's used
Locals typically drop the suffix 市 when talking about major Japanese cities, preferring to just say 札幌. Adding the full name sounds slightly formal or like reading from a travel brochure. It is common to hear people refer to the city simply by its name followed by a location particle like 喺札幌.
Examples
I will go to Sapporo City next month to have fun.
Do you know where is good to eat in Sapporo City?
