The Kikusui neighborhood in Sapporo's Shiroishi Ward is a highly convenient residential area, directly served by the Tōzai subway line. An interesting local fact is that the area's name, "Kikusui," meaning "chrysanthemum water," is shared with a famous Japanese clan emblem, though its local origin is tied to the historical development of the district. The closest major landmark is the iconic Sapporo Dome, a multi-purpose stadium located just a few subway stops away, which hosted matches during the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
