Hokkaido's capital city of Sapporo retains a unique mixture of modern Japanese efficiency and technology with a more relaxed approach to daily life influenced by the environment and climate making any visit a pleasant change from the frenetic pace of other major centers in the country.
Drawing its name from the indigenous Ainu terminology meaning "river-lined-with-large-reed-bed", Sapporo was officially founded in 1869 very early in Japan's Meiji Era.
Designed on a grid pattern and boasting several train and subway lines and even a tram line, Sapporo is one of Japan's easiest cities to travel in.
Adding to this distinctiveness, Sapporo is spared a rainy season, unlike the rest of Japan. A mild spring, pleasant summer, cool autumn and snowy winter characterize a year in Sapporo. Average temperatures during most months make Sapporo an ideal destination and base for an outdoor or nature enthusiast while winter brings perfect temperatures for snow and winter sports. Ski Season generally starts in mid-December and can last as long as late April!
7 minutes on foot from JR Sapporo Station, or 5 minutes on foot from Odori Subway Station (Toho, Tozai and Nanboku lines). Conveniently situated for both business and sightseeing.
