Venue

Sapporo is located at the north island (Hokkaido) of Japan, and is conveniently accessible from New Chitose Airport (CTS) by Japan Railway (JR) airport express (36 min). Sapporo is the beautiful capital city of Hokkaido prefecture. In Hokkaido, autumn comes with hurried steps. The air is brisk and most people are already dressed in warm clothing. Temperature may be ranging from 7 to 15°C and average humidity is ~69%. The big temperature differences within each day make the leaves beautiful. You can see brightly colored-leaves in urban area of Sapporo and Hokkaido University Campus.
