Kiyota-ku, Administrative ward in Sapporo, Japan.
Kiyota-ku is an administrative ward in Sapporo that covers about 60 square kilometers and is the fourth largest administrative division in the city. The area mixes residential zones with open land and connects to the city center through the Hokkaido Expressway and bus routes.
This ward was created in 1997 when it separated from the former Toyohira-ku. The land was long defined by rice fields and orchards before gradually becoming an urban residential area.
The name Kiyota comes from Japanese words meaning "pure rice field," reflecting the agricultural roots of this northeastern region. This naming choice reminds visitors today of what the land looked like before urban development.
The area has no train stations within its boundaries, but visitors can easily reach the city center by bus. It helps to plan a bus route in advance since connections to Sapporo are numerous but spread out.
The area has its own mascot called Kiyochi that represents the agricultural roots of the region. This friendly symbol appears regularly at local community events and is used in neighborhood engagement projects.
