Mt. Okura Observatory
Experience the Thrill of the 1972 Winter Olympics from a Skier’s Perspective
Stand at the 307-meter summit and experience the heart-pounding view seen by Olympic ski jumpers.
To reach the top of the Okurayama Ski Jump Stadium, enjoy a relaxing 5-minute aerial ride on a two-seater lift. As you ascend, feel the crisp mountain breeze against your skin while the majestic Ishikari Plain gradually unfolds behind you. Standing at the observatory, you will find the "Kante" (take-off ramp) right before your eyes. Gazing down from the exact same height as world-class athletes, you will experience an overwhelming sense of scale and realism that can only be found here.
Stretching out from the foot of the mountain, Odori Park cuts a straight line through the heart of Sapporo, perfectly framing a city where urban life meets lush nature, such as the verdant campus of Hokkaido University. As evening falls, the city transforms into a sea of glittering jewels. The silence of the mountain heightens the magic of the night view, making it a truly exceptional moment. Visitors can also explore the adjacent Sapporo Olympic Museum to experience the intensity of winter sports through simulators, making Okurayama a unique destination where history and breathtaking scenery converge.
