That a new Mormon temple would be constructed in Sapporo Japan, was announced by [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on October 3, 2009 at the 179th General Conference of the Church in the Saturday morning session.

The site for the temple has not yet been announced. The goal to qualify for a temple on Hokkaidō was five stakes. There are currently three stakes and one district on Japan's northernmost island.

This will be the third temple built in Japan, which has 29 stakes and 14 districts. Sapporo is Japan's fifth largest city and is located on the northern island of Hokkaidō.2 There are presently two Mormon Temples in Japan — the Tokyo Japan Temple (1980) and the Fukuoka Japan Temple (2000).
