About Sapporo

Learn more about the host city, Sapporo.

Sapporo (札幌) is the capital and largest city of the northern island of Hokkaido. One of Japan's newest and most orderly cities, it has little in the way of traditional architecture. But what it lacks in "Japanese-ness" it makes up for with its lovely open, tree-filled boulevards to enjoy in summer and excellent snow in the long winter. Its name means “the great dry field” in the Ainu language.
