What To Expect

Mt. Okura Ski Jump Stadium

Known as the “prince of all sports,” the stadium was designed with input from Norwegian Major General Olaf Helset, inspired by the late Chichibu Prince. Renovated in 1970 for the 11th Sapporo Winter Olympics, it now serves as a historic venue for ski jumping. From the observation deck at 307 meters, you can enjoy views of the jump approach, the city of Sapporo, and the Ishikari Plains.

Shiroi Koibito Park
