Okurayama

Japanese: 大倉山 - おおくらやま
Okurayama
A small hill in Miyanomori, Nishi-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido. One of the old mesas belonging to the Shiribeshi volcanic group, it has an altitude of 307m. In 1931, a ski jump (former Okura Schanze) was built on this hill with financial support from Kihachiro Okura, and after several renovations it was upgraded to a 90m class in 1962. In 1970, a full-scale international ski jump (commonly known as the Okura Schanze) was completed, and it became the main venue for the Sapporo Winter Olympics in 1972. It is one of the world's leading ski jumps, and the only 90m class ski jump in Japan that is in regular use.
