The 90 meter ski jump competitions of the Winter Olympics 1972 were held in the Okurayama Ski Jump Stadium. Nowadays, when the stadium is not being used for world cup or other ski jump events, the Okurayama Observatory at the top of the hill can be accessed via a chair lift (500 yen, 8:30 to 18:00, shorter hours November to March) for spectacular views of Sapporo. At the foot of the jump hill stands the Sapporo Winter Sports Museum (600 yen, 9:00-18:00, shorter hours November to April) with exhibits about the 1972 Sapporo Winter Olympics and winter sports in general, including ski jump, bobsled, biathlon and speed skate simulators.

How to get there

Take the Subway Tozai Line to Maruyama Koen Station. From the Maruyama Koen bus terminal, take bus line 14 to "Okurayama Kyogijo Iriguchi" (about a 5 to 10 minute bus ride, 2 buses per hour). From the bus station, the ski jump stadium is a 5 to 10 minute walk uphill. On weekends and holidays, bus line 15 (1 or 2 buses per hour) operates from the Maruyama Koen Station directly to the base of the Okurayama ski jump. How to get to and around Sapporo
