Sapporo Autumn Fest is a major event themed around Hokkaido cuisine that began in 2008 and is now in its 16th year.
Approximately 300 stores are set up in seven areas of Odori Park (total length approximately 1 km) in the center of Sapporo, and over 2 million people visit every year.

During the period, there will be approximately 80 booths set up by municipalities and organizations from Hokkaido, some of which will be open throughout the year and others which will be rotated over four periods.
Participants in the fourth period of the 8th block venue include municipalities such as Shimizu Town, Iwamizawa City, Imakane Town, Takikawa City, Shintoku Town, Suttsu Town, Akaigawa Village, Bifuka Town, Higashikagura Town, Furubira Town, Shibecha Town, Hokuryu Town, Toyako Town, Toyako Town, Rikubetsu Town, Imobeushi Town, Ashibetsu City, and Hamanaka Town, as well as organizations such as the Hokkaido Noodle Cooperative and the Coal, Iron and Port Promotion Council (Muroran) (Bibai).
Hokuryu Town Booth
Hokuryu Town will be participating in the 4th period (4 days) of the Sapporo Odori Hokkaido Market in the 8th block venue from Thursday, September 26th to Sunday, September 29th!
