Latest Events in Sapporo(October Updated)

As a key stop in YOASOBI's large-scale Asia tour "Super planet," the Sapporo performance will be held from November 14 to 15, 2026, at the Daiwa House Premium Dome. This is a crucial part of the tour's five-city dome performances in Japan (Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo, Fukuoka, Tokyo). "Super planet" symbolizes transcending imagination and creating a new musical world. This tour marks the first time a Japanese artist has held dome and stadium performances across five Asian cities and five Japanese cities, with the Sapporo stop delivering a top-tier audiovisual experience for local fans.

The Sapporo Snow Festival is an annual snow festival held in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, in early February. The main venue is Odori Park in Chuo Ward, Sapporo, primarily showcasing snow sculptures. The Sapporo Snow Festival currently has three venues, with the main one being the Odori Venue in Odori Park. Large snow sculptures created by the Self-Defense Forces and international groups are mostly displayed at the Odori Venue. Most venues are sponsored and named by local Hokkaido companies, but 6-chome, 9-chome, and 12-chome are public squares, mainly displaying smaller snow sculptures created by ordinary citizens. 11-chome is the International Square, showcasing snow sculptures created by overseas groups. The Susukino Venue is located in Sapporo Station-mae-dori 4-7, primarily displaying ice sculptures. Compared to the Odori and Susukino Venues, which mainly display snow and ice sculptures, the Community Dome Venue is a public-participation venue with a snow maze, snow slides, and other recreational facilities.

The Sapporo White Illumination is Japan's first illumination event, which began in 1981 (Showa 56), adding color to Sapporo in winter. At the Odori venue, symbolic objects of various sizes will sparkle like light art. At the Ekimaedori venue, the Minami-ichi-dori venue, and the Sapporo Kitasanjo Square (Akapla) venue, standing trees are decorated with light bulbs, lighting up the city. A sound and light show will be held at the Sapporo Station South Exit Square venue.

Approximately 800 to 1000 chrysanthemums will be on display at the main venue in the Sapporo Station underground pedestrian walkway (Chi-Ka-Ho) for a judging event to evaluate their size and aesthetic appeal. At the Aurora Plaza in the Sapporo underground shopping center Aurora Town, an exhibition area called "Aurora Flowerbed" will be set up, showcasing various varieties including dome chrysanthemums and mist chrysanthemums, presenting visitors with a vibrant and colorful flowerbed. A special chrysanthemum exhibition will be held at the entrance on the first floor of the Hokuhoku Sapporo Building, while the "Lilac Gallery" will exhibit various cultural and artistic works themed around "flowers," allowing visitors to fully appreciate the charm of art and culture.
