The purposes of this study were to clarify the movement to host the visionary Sapporo Olympics in 1940. The movement to host the Visionary Sapporo Olympics has not been studied in detail. The main contents of this study are to clarify the effort that the Japanese Ski Association attempted to host the Sapporo Olympics against the ideals IOC and FIS (Federation of International Skiing) during 1932-1938. This study clarified the Japanese Ski Association efforts to progress in the structural preparation of Olympics throughout the country and sent their delegates to IOC members many times in order to host the Sapporo Olympics. The holding of the Sapporo Olympics in 1940 was approved by the IOC. Conversely, FIS decided not to take part in the Sapporo Olympics. Soon after, the Japan-China war broke out, so the Japanese government gave up their attempts to host the Sapporo Olympics.
