A Visitor and Delegate’s Favorite
When it comes to business events indeed, Sapporo has many assets up its sleeves, starting with a wealth of knowledge in many areas of endeavors, as well as all the facilities you can expect in a fast-growing environment.
The Capital of the North
Located in one of the snowiest parts of the world (takes full advantage of its frosty weather), with a population of 1.9 million, Sapporo plays a dominant role as the economic and cultural center of Hokkaido.
Powered by Nature
The most special of Japanese cities maybe – its location on an island, which has 22% of the country’s landmass, but only 5% of its population, has a lot to do with it, is home to some of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes, unique wildlife, and year-round outdoor pursuits.
For Dedicated Foodies
A longtime champion of local production - local consumption, with an overwhelming food sufficiency rate of over 200%, the highest in Japan, earned the region its reputation and brand value as Japan’s food base.
Major Events Portfolio
Sapporo gained international prominence when it was chosen to host the 1972 Winter Olympic Games. Since then, it has gone from strength to strength, and not only in the field of sports or because of its breweries.
