Shiroishi Ward

Among the urban districts of Hokkaido, Shiroishi Ward stands out for its roots in a pioneering settlement founded by people from Shiroishi in Miyagi Prefecture. Now part of eastern Sapporo, it is a largely residential and commercial area shaped by the wider metropolitan city rather than a separate historic centre. The Toyohira River runs nearby, while the Sapporo Municipal Subway’s Tozai Line connects the ward with central Sapporo. The Sapporo Convention Center in Higashi-Sapporo gives the district an important role in the city’s business and events calendar.
