Many foreigners live in Sapporo.
Did you know that Sapporo is being chosen as the most desirable place to live in Japan?
Many of both Westerners and Asians answered that they have “nature and four seasons” and “has both a big city and a quiet living environment.”
Sapporo is loved by people from countries with four seasons and people from countries without winter. And although he likes cities where people gather, he seems to have fulfilled his wish for a quiet place to live.

Sapporo City consists of 10 wards.
The City of Sapporo invests efficiently through its “Compact City Policy,” which concentrates the spots where people gather in the central city area.
The city must develop the city, but it cannot protect the living environment if it develops and attracts more people.
By designating areas outside the central city as residential areas, the city separates “where to go” from “where to live,” thereby achieving both a good living environment and development.

Chuo City, the center of Sapporo, is inevitably marked by commercial, tourist, and administrative activities such as department stores, commercial facilities, Susukino, TV Tower, Clock Tower, Nijo Market, Central Wholesale Market, Hokkaido Prefectural Government, and Sapporo City Hall, but there are also many other spots in Chuo City that enrich daily life.

The Hokkaido Shrine Forest and the adjacent Maruyama Park, where many Sapporo residents are said to visit for the first time, are popular spots where visitors can feel the four seasons close at hand: spring with cherry blossoms and fresh greenery, summer with powerful greenery and negative ions, fall with colorful autumn leaves, and winter with fantastic scenery.
The Maruyama Zoo, which receives more than 1 million visitors annually, and numerous museums are also located here.
In winter, the Sapporo Bankei Ski Resort and the Okurayama Champs, where world championships are held, are only 8 to 15 minutes away by car, making it an ideal location for outdoor activities on holidays.

In Miyanomori, Chuo-ku, there is a supermarket where chefs also come to buy.
Foods Variety Sugihara,” a 5-minute drive away, is a supermarket famous for its fresh seasonal ingredients and high-end food products, and has been awarded the No. 1 supermarket in Hokkaido.
Lucky Yamate, a general supermarket also located 5 minutes away by car, is also popular for its selection of foodstuffs.
The shopping mall “Maruyama Class,” which also houses a supermarket, is a 5-minute drive and a 7-minute bus ride away.
Another convenience supermarket in Miyanomori is Seicomart, a 5-minute walk away.
