Winter olympic venue. We purposely come here to experience the chairlift. Great view overseeing sapporo city from the top.

Not a well known spot but it was worth coming to learn a bit about ski jumping. It is the site of the 1972 winter Olympic ski jump. It has a small museum with winter sport simulation activities which were quite fun and you’ll work up a sweat! You can also go up the ski lift to the top of the ski jump where there is a look out point and a small cafe. Kids enter free for the museum and pay only 500yen for the ski lift.

This was an unexpected absolute thrill. Do yourself a favour and find time to visit this iconic ski stadium. The view from the top was breathtaking. We had the added bonus of seeing some skiers taking to the slope for ski jump practice - without snow. This is well worth the visit and very easy to navigate with train and bus from Sapporo. Just don’t miss the last bus at 4.30pm.

I visited a site that features a ski jump used in the Olympic Games. By purchasing a lift ticket, you can go up to near the top of the jump and look down over the structure. From there, you can also enjoy a view of the city of Sapporo, which is quite nice, especially on a clear day. Looking down from above, the height and steep angle of the jump are very clear, and it really makes you think about how incredible it is that athletes launch themselves from such a height and slope. Even without actually standing on the jump itself, simply viewing it from above is enough to convey the intensity of the sport and the skill of the athletes. As a sightseeing spot, it doesn’t require a long visit, and it works well as a place to stop by briefly while exploring Sapporo. For those interested in the Olympics or winter sports, it’s a worthwhile place to check out at least once.
