Overview

  • Step beyond the famous snow festivals and ramen alleys to uncover the hidden heartbeat of Sapporo. This city was built on indigenous Ainu land—Sat-poro-pet. On this immersive journey, you will explore the dual narrative of Japan's northern capital: the dark machinery of 19th-century colonization and the inspiring, grassroots revival of Ainu culture today. From the halls of academia to the quiet corners of political resistance, and finally to a celebration of indigenous culinary pride, discover the voices that refused to be silenced.
