Weather Sapporo
Perhaps best known as the 1972 Winter Olympics host city, Sapporo is the capital and the most populated city of the northernmost of Japan's major islands, Hokkaido. Sapporo is also one of the newest cities in Japan, with a population of only seven people in 1857. Sapporo's population and tourism industry have both grown dramatically ever since.
When is the best month to visit Sapporo?
In winter, the weather in Sapporo gives rise to the busiest tourist week during the annual Sapporo Snow Festival in the middle of February. Although Sapporo's spring brings warmer weather to the city, its scenic white snow also turns slushy brown for a brief period in April. Visiting Sapporo in autumn or spring is recommended to anyone wishing to avoid the crowds of Japanese tourists who come to Hokkaido in summer to escape southern Japan's humidity and rain.
