The Sapporo Ainu Culture Promotion Center, also known as Sapporo Pirka Kotan, offers a meaningful glimpse into the history and traditions of the Ainu — the Indigenous people of Hokkaido. Surrounded by tranquil forest in the southern part of the city, the center preserves and shares Ainu culture through beautifully curated exhibits, performances, and hands-on workshops.

Inside, visitors can explore displays of traditional clothing, tools, crafts, and everyday items that tell the story of Ainu life and resilience. The center also features reconstructed houses and outdoor installations that bring ancient customs to life, allowing you to see how the Ainu lived in harmony with nature.

With its peaceful setting and educational spirit, the Sapporo Ainu Culture Promotion Center invites you to connect with a rich cultural heritage that continues to shape Hokkaido’s identity — a quiet yet powerful reminder of the island’s deep roots and living traditions.
