JOPT 2027 Sapporo #01

28 – 31 Jan 2027 · Sapporo Factory Hall, Japan

Official scheduleRegister & structure

Four days of tour poker in Hokkaido at the end of January, at the hall JOPT has used twice a year since 2024.

Dates and venue

28 to 31 January 2027 at Sapporo Factory Hall, Sapporo, Hokkaido.

A regular stop

JOPT has played Sapporo Factory Hall twice a year since 2024 — February and September in 2024 and 2026, February and September in 2025 — which makes this one of the most settled fixtures on the calendar outside Tokyo.

Timing

Late January is deep winter in Hokkaido, and the Sapporo Snow Festival normally falls in the first week of February, so a poker trip in this window sits just before the city's busiest tourist week. Book accommodation early either way.

The schedule

Not yet published. The tour confirms dates and venue well before the event list, so check its own festival page nearer the time for buy-ins and flights. We do not list buy-ins the tour has not published.

Dates and venue come from the tour's own events calendar, read on 21 October 2026, and can change. Please gamble responsibly.
