Sapporo and Hokkaido have grown closer to Taiwan in recent years through tourism, agricultural exchange and the Snow Festival. Hokkaido University has long supported Taiwan studies; Sapporo, Hakodate and Otaru periodically host Taiwan cultural showcases, food markets and film screenings. The Sapporo Snow Festival itself draws large numbers of Taiwanese visitors and is increasingly accompanied by Taiwan-themed programming. This page aggregates Taiwan-related events across Hokkaido.
