Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost main island, boasts a unique history and culture shaped by its cool climate, diverse wildlife, and indigenous Ainu people.
Sapporo, the capital of Hokkaido, has a unique charm rooted in its history and environment. The name “Sapporo” is believed to come from the Ainu language, meaning “big dry river,” referring to the Toyohira River which used to dry up in the summer. It’s known for its abundant snowfall, which has shaped the city’s architecture and culture, including the Sapporo Snow Festival. The city also boasts a thriving food scene, influenced by its connection to the land, with specialties like miso ramen, Genghis Khan, and soup curry. Furthermore, Sapporo’s history includes the first Winter Olympics in Asia, and its ongoing development as a major Japanese city with international connections. 

The snow and architecture

Sapporo’s heavy snowfall (about 5 meters per winter) has led to distinctive architectural features, such as steeply pitched roofs designed to shed snow easily. The city’s relationship with snow is also celebrated in the annual Sapporo Snow Festival, where massive snow and ice sculptures are created. 

Sapporo Winter Olympic Games

Sapporo hosted the first Winter Olympics in Asia in 1972, a significant event in the city’s history. However, it’s interesting to note that Sapporo was originally slated to host the games much earlier, in 1940, but the event was cancelled due to the Sino-Japanese War or the WWII.

During this Olympiad, three Japanese ski jumpers swept the podium in the normal hill event. Yukio Kasaya won the gold medal, Akitsugu Konno the silver medal, and Seiji Aochi won the bronze. This marked the first time Japan had won a gold medal in the Winter Olympics, and the sweep of the normal hill event was a historic moment for the nation. 

Food and Culture

Sapporo’s culinary scene is a highlight, with unique dishes like miso ramen (a local specialty), Genghis Khan (grilled lamb), and soup curry. The city’s connection to Hokkaido’s agricultural bounty ensures high-quality ingredients, making dining a memorable experience.
