City Description
CloseSapporo, the city of canals and romance
The fifth most populous city in Japan, Sapporo is where provincial government building of Hokkaido is located. There are various theories in the origin of the name “Sapporo,” but it is most likely that it derived from the word ”sat-poro” meaning “dry and big” in the language of the Ainu people, the natives of Hokkaido.
The checkered streets are the symbols of Sapporo. This is because Sapporo was a planned city built to resemble Kyoto. Ever since the Hokkaido provincial government building was constructed in 1869, it has become a center of politics and economy in Hokkaido. It is now one of the largest metropolises in Japan, but it also boasts breathtaking scenery, surrounded by beautiful nature. There are green parks throughout the city where you can feel relaxed. Thanks to the regional characteristics of Hokkaido, which is located in the northernmost part of Japan, its summers have a pleasant climate with low temperatures and low humidity, but most visitors come in the winter. The Sapporo Snow Festival which began in 1950, is one of the most representative festivals in Japan.
