About Sapporo
Sapporo's population has grown from seven in 1857 to nearly 2 million in 2021. Welcome to SAPPOROis the city's official multilingual guide site. Sapporo has four distinct seasons. Temperatures are generally cool and pleasant in a summer, making it a popular place to escape the heat that grips much of the rest of Japan. Summer days here start longer and earlier than the rest of Japan, with sunrise as early as 03:45, and sunset around 19:00. Winters are harsh by Japanese standards, though not as harsh as the likes ofHarbinorChicago. Sapporo is one of the snowiest cities in the world (about 6 meters snowfall each year, three times as much as in Montreal), and the city makes full use of this by hosting the world-renowned Sapporo Snow Festival in February every year. Sunrise in winter is at 07:
