[Grand Mercure Sapporo Odori Park] "The faucet with onion soup" appears in the lobby! A warm cup of hospitality when twisting the faucet in Sapporo in winter
We offer soup that condenses the taste of onions from Kitami, Hokkaido, Japan's largest producer, for a limited time during the "Sapporo Snow Festival" February 4 (Wed) to 11 (Wed), 2026
The city hotel "Grand Mercure Sapporo Odori Park" (Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido / General Manager: Rei Daniel) is located in the center of Sapporo, will install a unique production "The faucet with Onion soup" in the hotel lobby from February 4 (Wed) to 11 (Wed), 2026, during the Sapporo Snow Festival.
The soup is a popular product "Hokkaido Onion Soup" by Greens Kitami Co., Ltd., a processed food manufacturer that uses ingredients from Hokkaido. It is a hospitality unique to Hokkaido in winter, where guests who have returned from visiting the snow festival and going out are warmly welcomed with the scent of onion soup that rises with steam and the surprising production that stops their feet unintentionally.
During the same period, Mercure Sapporo, located in another location in Sapporo City, will also offer the same onion soup as welcome soup and offer winter hospitality at two buildings in the city.

Five senses experience of Hokkaido in winter starting from the moment you enter the lobby
As soon as you step into the hotel lobby, the scent of onion soup that rises wraps visitors. Freed from the harsh cold outside, the feeling that the body relaxes slowly through steam, aroma, and warmth is unique to winter in Hokkaido. "The faucet with onion soup" was planned as an experiential hospitality that enhances the mood of travel.
A cup that permeates the taste of onions from Kitami, Hokkaido
The soup is used onion from the Kitami region of Hokkaido, which boasts the highest production volume in Japan. Kitami onions, which grew up in an environment with long sunshine hours and varying temperature, are characterized by strong sweetness and umami. The onion soup, which is tightly condensed with its deliciousness, warms the cold body from the inside through sightseeing and snow festival tours, and feels the richness of Hokkaido's food.
When you twist the handle, the soup is poured out, a memorable surprise production
When you twist the handle of the faucet, it is not hot water, but warm onion soup.
A unique device that makes you want to stop and take pictures unintentionally impresses the memories of your trip with visual surprises. By combining Hokkaido ingredients with the playfulness unique to the hotel, we create a special hospitality that can only be experienced here.
Kitami Onion character "Kitan" is visited
Kitan, a character born from the Kitami area of Hokkaido, Japan's largest onion production area, will appear in Grand Mercure Sapporo Odori Park at 15:00 on February 4, 2026 (Wednesday).
