  • Environment

  • A temperate city with abundant nature and all modern urban facilities

    Sapporo is the center of an urban area with the 4th largest population (not counting Tokyo) in Japan, and it boasts a rich and varied nature. With the beautiful nature and comfortable urban facilities harmoniously coexisting, the city is always ranked among the very best places to live. From the city center, developed on a wide plain at the foot of mountains, we can see a ski-jump and enjoy scenery as it changes from season to season. Another feature of Hokkaido is the dynamic unspoiled natural environment in East Hokkaido, which is registered as a world heritage site.
