Odori Park

Odori Park (大通公園, Ōdōri Kōen), a vibrant 1.5-kilometer stretch in the heart of Sapporo, serves as a central gathering place that divides the city into northern and southern sections. The park is a lush, green haven that comes to life during the warmer months, with colorful flower beds, beautiful fountains, and a wide range of lively events. Visitors can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere while strolling along tree-lined pathways or attending seasonal festivals. In February, the park becomes the heart of the renowned Sapporo Snow Festival, where stunning ice and snow sculptures transform it into a winter wonderland.

At the eastern end of the park stands the iconic Sapporo TV Tower, a towering structure offering panoramic views of the city from its 90-meter-high observation deck. By day, it provides a clear vista of Sapporo’s urban landscape, and at night, the illuminated tower adds a touch of magic to the city’s skyline. The combination of the park's natural beauty and the TV Tower's impressive architecture makes Odori Park a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Sapporo.
