Opened in 2001, the Sapporo Dome is known for its innovative design, most notably its retractable natural grass pitch used for soccer games. The stadium is home to the Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo football team and formerly the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters baseball team.The Tenbodai, rising approximately 53 meters above the ground, offers visitors a panoramic view of Sapporo and the surrounding mountains. A 60-meter escalator transports visitors to the top. From this vantage point, one can appreciate the stadium's architecture and the cityscape. The observation deck also features exhibits related to the Sapporo Dome, including player memorabilia.The Sapporo Dome has hosted various major events, including the 2002 FIFA World Cup, the 2017 Asian Winter Games, and the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
