If your image of Japan is that of a concrete jungle, with bustling crowds crammed into confined streets, you obviously haven't been to Sapporo, the capital of Japan's northernmost island.

Nationwide surveys consistently rank Sapporo as one of Japan's most desirable places to live, which comes as no surprise to local residents, who enjoy the advantages of combining big-city living with the majesty of a stunning natural environment. Hot spas, after-work skiing and picturesque mountain walks are just as common as afternoon tea in a downtown cafe.

Sapporo, the fifth largest city in Japan, boasts a safe environment with an even lower crime rate than the already low national average. Four distinct seasons mark out the annual climate, with warm dry summers that have less humidity than cities further south, and frosty winters famous for their generous snowfall.

Sapporo is an ideal location for conventions, meetings, cultural visits and incentive tours, where delegates and sightseers alike can relax and enjoy the warmest hospitality Japan has to offer.  With an easily navigable downtown area, major hotels and accommodations are all within walking distance of the city's major facilities.  A first class subway and public transport system, and nearby international airport will quickly guide you to anywhere within the city limits and beyond.

Are you still looking for a place to host your next convention or incentive tour?
Sapporo has everything you need, so you really can have it all!
