Sapporo Concert Hall 'Kitara'

Sapporo Concert Hall Kitara stands within the quiet greenery of Nakajima Park, characterized by a long, glass-enclosed lobby that stretches horizontally across the landscape. Opened in nineteen ninety-seven, the venue was designed specifically to host classical music, serving as the home base for the Sapporo Symphony Orchestra. Its name combines the ancient Greek instrument kithara with the Japanese word for north, reflecting its role as a regional center for music.
