Summary
The Ishikari Fair at Hokkaido Dosanko Plaza Sapporo runs from July 29 to August 4, 2026, showcasing agricultural, marine and processed products from the Ishikari region.
The Hokkaido Ishikari Subprefectural Bureau will hold the Ishikari Fair at the Hokkaido Dosanko Plaza Sapporo store from July 29 (Wednesday) to August 4 (Tuesday), 2026. The store is located on the first floor of the JR Sapporo Station west concourse, north exit, and each fair day runs from 8:30 to 20:00.
What happened
The seven-day fair introduces travellers and Sapporo residents to agricultural, marine and processed products from the eight municipalities of the Ishikari region: Sapporo, Ebetsu, Chitose, Eniwa, Kitahiroshima, Ishikari, Tobetsu and Shinshinotsu. In addition to product sales, the fair features an eat-in corner offering local alcoholic beverages and provides promotional gifts to customers.
Why it matters
The Hokkaido Dosanko Plaza inside JR Sapporo Station is one of the highest-traffic showcase stores for Hokkaido specialties. Concentrating Ishikari-area products there for a week gives smaller producers exposure that they would struggle to secure individually, and it introduces visitors to towns that are close to Sapporo but often outside the standard sightseeing loop.
