The city shines at the foot of the mountain - the night view of Sapporo only at Okurayama

The Okurayama Observatory is the one and only viewing facility that offers a panoramic view of Sapporo over the ski jumping terrain.

The panoramic view from the observatory, located at the starting point of the ski jump at an elevation of 307 meters above sea level, over the approach (auxiliary runway) to the Ishikari Plain as well as the city of Sapporo, is breathtaking. It is also attractive to see the view from the perspective of a ski jumper.

The night view from the Okurayama Observatory is a must-see. The night view of Sapporo has been selected as one of the "New Three Great Night Views of Japan" along with Nagasaki and Kitakyushu, and this is the only place in Sapporo where you can see the beautifully illuminated cityscape spreading along the mountain ridge.
