Odori Park (Sapporo)

Japan / Hokkaido / Sapporo
Odori Park is a park located in the heart of Sapporo, Hokkaidō, Japan. Odori (大通) means "large street" in Japanese. It stretches east to west through several blocks, and divides the city into north and south sections. Odori Park spans about 1.5 km and covers 78,901 m². During the urban planning of Sapporo, it was originally designated as the main street but it eventually became a park. Throughout the year, many events and ceremonies such as the Sapporo Lilac Festival and the Sapporo Snow Festival are held in the park, and local landmarks including the Sapporo TV Tower and the Sapporo City Archive Museum are located within its boundaries.
