It lies in a gently undulating basin with the 1,898m Mt. Yotei in the national park to the east and the 1,309m Mt. Niseko-Annupuri in the Quasi-National Park to the north. ‘Niseko (nisekoan)’ is an Ainu word meaning ‘(river which runs around the bottom of) a sheer cliff’.

Sapporo is the capitol as well as the economic center of Hokkaido. Hokkaido University lies near JR Sapporo Station, of which Emeritus Professor Akira Suzuki wins the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2010.
