Sapporo TV Tower
A landmark of Sapporo with 360-degree panoramic views
Standing at the east end of Odori Park, the 144-meter-high “Sapporo TV Tower” is a landmark tower loved by citizens and tourists alike. The tower commands a panoramic view of Mt. Teine and Okurayama Champs to the west, the Toyohira River and the Ishikari Plain to the east, and on a clear day, the Ishikari Plain and the Sea of Japan can be seen from the tower. Various events are held throughout the year in Odori Park, including the Sapporo White Illumination and the Sapporo Snow Festival, and the view from the observatory is truly a prime spot.
The southeast side of the observatory is also a thrilling photo spot with its single pane of glass “Kowaso,” which runs from your feet to the ceiling and tilts outward, providing a view of your feet and a thrilling outward slope. A special plan that allows visitors to reserve the observation deck for 30 minutes after business hours is perfect for a surprise or an anniversary.
The building is also equipped with a restaurant and a souvenir store selling goods featuring “TV Dad,” the popular character of the Sapporo TV Tower. Be sure to stop by the “Nohohon Park,” a rest area with chairs, tables, and even trash cans filled with TV Dad!
