Revamping Information Panels at Sapporo TV Tower: A New Era Begins

Recent Update on Information Panels at Sapporo TV Tower

Denkikogyo Co., Ltd., headquartered in Koto-ku, Tokyo, has recently revitalized the information panels displayed at the Sapporo TV Tower, located in Hokkaido. The tower is managed by Sapporo TV Tower Co., Ltd., led by President Hikoto Shirahama. This rebranding marks a significant milestone for both the company and the iconic landmark.

The original panel was erected back in 2013 following the completion of painting works on the tower. The panel featured visuals of the tower post-painting, stunning views from the top, and an introduction to Denkikogyo's services. Now, after more than a decade of service, a complete refresh was deemed necessary, especially in light of recent accomplishments. The company has successfully conducted the conversion of the aviation obstacle lights to LED in 2021, as well as repair works scheduled for 2024.

The updated panel not only depicts the transformation of Sapporo's skyline between 2013 and 2025 but also highlights our company's ongoing contributions. It is now prominently displayed on the tower's staircase for all visitors to see.
