Kiyota-ku

Kiyota-ku spans across 59.70 square kilometers of land, making it the fourth largest administrative division within the city of Sapporo.

The ward emerged from Toyohira-ku through an administrative division in 1997, transforming from an area previously filled with rice fields and apple farms.

The name Kiyota stems from the Japanese words meaning pure rice field, reflecting the agricultural heritage of this northeastern region.

Despite lacking railway stations within its boundaries, the ward maintains connectivity through the Hokkaido Expressway and numerous bus routes connecting to central Sapporo.

The ward features its own mascot called Kiyochi, representing the agricultural roots of the region while promoting community engagement among residents.
