This is a stadium used for ski jumping. We took the ski lift up to the top of the jump and there is a look out tower. The jump is about 300 meters above sea level. You can see the panoramic view of downtown Sapporo from the top. We came in the evening and the lights of the city was amazing. It was cold and windy at the top but well worth the experience. The ski jump is open to the public on days when competitions and official practices are not being held, and visitors can ascend to the peak of the mountain on the double lift. There, they can experience the unimaginable steep approach and the intensity of the sport while also enjoying spectacular scenery. #givethanks #givethanks
