Hokkaido Iconic Venues

The 1972 Winter Olympics, held in Sapporo, introduced the city to the world and earned it a reputation as an international city. Since then, Sapporo has hosted the Pacific Music Festival, 3 matches from 2002 FIFA World Cup, and most recently, the G8 Hokkaido Toyako Summit in the nearby Lake Toya, in which issues such as global warming were discussed. Additionally, there are some large event facilities such as the Sapporo Concert Hall Kitara, called one of the world's best acoustical spaces, and the Sapporo Dome, Japan's most northerly dome for baseball and soccer. As you can see, regardless of category, all kinds of events and meetings can be held here in Sapporo. In addition, for the purpose of promoting international exchange, the Sapporo International Communication Plaza Foundation was established in 1991 to attract conventions to the city. Finally, the natural beauty surrounding Sapporo guarantees you some great experiences.
