History

Sapporo Station is a Sapporo Municipal Subway station in Chūō-ku, Sapporo, and is linked by an underground concourse to the JR Hokkaido station of the same name. It opened on 16 December 1971 alongside the inaugural Namboku Line stretch between Makomanai and Kita-Nijuyo-Jō, where it carries the line code N06. Tōhō Line platforms, identified as H07, came into service on 2 December 1988 when that line first opened. The station has since become one of the busiest on the network, serving the JR Tower complex and a dense underground retail district that connects northward toward JR Sapporo and southward toward Ōdōri.

Notes

Sapporo Subway uses the hiragana spelling "さっぽろ" for the station name to distinguish it from the JR Sapporo Station, which is written in kanji as 札幌駅.
