The first Winter Olympics held in Asia took place in 1972. Which city in Hokkaido hosted it?

Speaking of Sapporo, there are many famous things like the Clock Tower, the Snow Festival, and ramen.

Among destinations in Hokkaido, it likely attracts a relatively large number of tourists.

Moreover, Sapporo hosted Asia’s first Winter Olympics in 1972.

It’s said that this was made possible because, from the Meiji through the Showa eras, skiing and skating had taken root among citizens as winter sports.

In fact, the Winter Olympics were supposed to be held even earlier than 1972.

Sapporo had been selected to host the 5th Winter Olympics in 1940, but the government returned the hosting rights due to the intensification of the Second Sino-Japanese War.
