Informazioni sul luogo

Rising along the eastern slope of Mount Okura, the stadium operates as an active competition venue and public winter sports complex.

Founded by Kishichiro Okura with financial backing and guidance from Prince Chichibu, the jump was planned by Norwegian ski federation leader Olaf Helset. Sapporo received the facility as a municipal gift, adopting the German term Schanze at the dedication ceremony held by Mayor Masaharu Hashimoto. The site later hosted the Winter Olympic Games and Nordic World Ski Championships on the steep hillside of Miyanomori.
