SPOT
Sapporo Television Tower
At the starting point of Odori Park, which divides the central part of Sapporo north and south, in West 1-chome, stands the "Sapporo TV Tower" which was completed in 1956. Since its completion, it has become a landmark-like presence witnessing the development of Sapporo for over half a century. In March 2025, it was designated as a National Registered Tangible Cultural Property.
From the observation deck approximately 90m above ground, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and event appearances of Odori Park, which changes its expression with each season, and if the weather is good, you can also overlook the Ishikari Plain and the Sea of Japan. Especially, in winter when the White Illumination and Snow Festival are held with Odori Park as the venue, the observation deck is a prime spot for viewing the scenery. Also popular among couples and married couples is a special plan that allows for private charter of the observation deck for 30 minutes after closing (inquiry required).
When night falls, the TV Tower is brilliantly lit up. Various versions of light-up can be enjoyed depending on the season and time of year. A plan is also available for individuals to create important memories as a light-up. In the basement, there is a gourmet court, and on the observation deck, there are also souvenir shops and a shrine for the TV Tower's character "TV Father," among others.
