TV Dad, the Tower's Famous Mascot

Take a Thrilling Dive from the TV Tower!
This event commemorates the tower reaching its 60th anniversary in 2017. You can put on a harness and jump from the TV Tower about 27 m above ground, equivalent to the ninth floor of a regular building, toward Odori Park.
The event is planned to be held from early July to early October. Check the website for fees and the event schedule.

The Romantic View at Night is also a Must-See
The observation deck offers a panoramic view of the city of Sapporo, the nearby mountains, and even the Ishikari Plains. The daytime view is indeed spectacular, but there is also romance to be found in the gradual change of colors in the sky around sunset and the view of the surroundings at night. Winter illuminations are particularly beautiful.
