Probably best known for its eponymous beer, Sapporo—the capital of Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island—has maintained the youthful and open atmosphere of the 1972 Olympic Winter Games, drawing international visitors for its annual Snow Festival and its world-famous ramen. Those seeking out the full diversity of Japanese cuisine will want to visit: a city with a ramen-inspired theme park is one that embraces and pampers foodies.

This colossal sports center is a year-round arena that seats forty thousand; concerts and exhibitions are also held here.
The Sappora Dome was built in 2001. It has a capacity of around 40,000 people. Following Dr Clarke, who said "Boys, be ambitious," is it is a major sporting facility that can function even when it is cold outside. It is home ground for two major sporting teams, the Nippon Ham Fighters (baseball) and Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo (Association football- -- soccer). It is a planned venue for soccer in the 2021 Olympics.

We were unsure what to expect when we booked a cab to take us to this venue but very pleasantly surprised on arrival. This massive ski jump must be seen to be believed. Looking up to the top, it is apparent that this sporting event is for extreme skier and definitely not the faint hearted. Really enjoyed the chair lift ride up to the top, despite it being seriously cold and snowing at the time. At the top, looking down the ski jump gave you even more perspective on what these elite sports men and women do. They must have nerves of steel!!! Then to warm up, we went to the museum. This interactive facility was so much fun. Including testing your skills as a ski jumper, bob sledder and ice skater. None of which I will be taking up any time soon based on my results on the simulators!!!
