HIGHLIGHTS
Event highlights
Munich market culture in Sapporo
This winter event brings the traditional market of Munich, Germany—Sapporo’s sister city—to Sapporo. It began in 2002 to mark the 30th anniversary of the sister-city relationship and has become a familiar feature of winter. The market spreads through Odori Park 2-chome in the heart of the city, offering a chance to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere amid Sapporo’s winter scenery.
The venue is lined with sparkling illuminations and colorful Christmas goods. It is described as a scene reminiscent of a European Christmas market, and browsing seasonal decorations and lights while shopping is part of the experience. Walk around the venue and take in the market scenery as you explore the stalls selling goods and admire the lights.
At the center of the venue stands an object inspired by a traditional Christmas pyramid. As you stroll past the goods and illuminations, take a look at the central decoration to enjoy even more of the venue’s festive atmosphere. Whether you come to see the Christmas market or look for goods, you can spend your time as you wish.
