Last update :

Odori Park is located in the center of Sapporo City.
Surrounded by approximately 4,700 trees of 92 species, including lilacs and harunire (elms), as well as lawns and fountains for relaxation, the park is loved by tourists and citizens as a place to relax in the office district.

The flowerbeds in Odori Park were first planted with Western plants and flowers by the Kaitakushi (Hokkaido Development Commissioner) in 1875, and today the Sapporo Flowerbed Promotion Association is in charge of flowerbed creation.
The flower beds are also the site of a contest in which member companies compete to create the most beautiful flower beds.

Odori Park is also known as the venue for events such as the Sapporo Lilac Festival and YOSAKOI Soran Festival, and the Sapporo Snow Festival is particularly popular as a major event that attracts approximately 2 million visitors every year from Japan and abroad.
The festival features a large, powerful snow sculpture and skating rink, as well as gourmet food from Hokkaido, projection mapping, and other events.
