City of Sapporo

Sapporo is Japan's 5th largest city with a population of 1.9 million, and the capital of Japan's northern island of Hokkaido. Only 150 years or so have passed since the pioneers first arrived, making it a relatively young city. Since the staging of the Winter Olympics in 1972, Sapporo has continued to develop into a truly international city, hosting various international events including the FIFA World Cup in 2002, the Ski Jumping World Cup, the Nordic World Ski Championships, and in 2017 is set to host the Asian Winter Games. Despite being a large metropolis, a short trip out to the suburbs reveals abundant natural scenery, where outdoor leisure activities such as hiking, canoeing and camping can be enjoyed. Each of the four seasons bring their own delights, and every year many tourists from both home and abroad visit the region, which is famous for being one of Japan's leading producers of delicious foodstuff. The city also ranks number one among the places Japanese people would like to live.
