Planning of the Sweden Hills neighborhood began in 1979 and construction started in 1984. The idea began after the Swedish Ambassador visited Tobetsu Town and remarked how similar the atmosphere and scenery was to his native Sweden. Tobetsu Town’s sister city is Leksand in Dalarna County, Sweden.

The neighborhood has no above-ground telephone or power poles and 2/3rds of the area is forest. A house and land can be purchased for as little as 17.8 million Yen (230,000 USD).

As of 2005, the town had 556 residents.

It is less than 30 km from the center of Sapporo City and 70km from the New Chitose Airport. The International Airport has direct flights to and from Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Taipei and Hong Kong, with round-trip tickets from as little as $440 out of Shanghai.

Activities & Facilities:

– Tennis Courts
