Introduction

Odori Park is a green belt running east-west through central Sapporo, splitting the city north and south across about 1.5 km from Nishi 1-chome to Nishi 12-chome. Flower beds, fountains and sculptures change with the seasons, lilacs in summer, red leaves in autumn, and in winter it becomes the main stage of the Snow Festival, where giant snow sculptures and lights fill the night. The Sapporo TV Tower rises within the park; from its deck you overlook the whole green axis and city. It is where citizens relax and where the seasons' festivals converge.
