AOAO SAPPORO is celebrating its first anniversary with a new key visual that expresses the experience of the museum through onomatopoeia, which will be used in future posters and advertising media. The key visuals will be used in posters, advertisements, and other media. The visuals will be accompanied by "repetitive words" that make you want to say "nyorinyorinyo" and "yurayorinyo" to express the fun AOAO SAPPORO is for children and adults alike.

Please be sure to stop by AOAO SAPPORO, which continues to create new experiences as it marks its first anniversary!
