The tournament will be held for the first time in 2021 in Uchiyama’s hometown of Sapporo (Sapporo City Hiragishi Tennis Stadium). The event was held in the hope that tennis fans and children can see professional tennis up close and give back to local Hokkaido. Also last year it was held without spectators due to the corona disaster. Last year it was held as JTT1 of the National Tour, and this year it was held for two consecutive weeks as an ITF International Tournament (total prize $25,000). In the doubles final, which was a showdown between unranked players, the Kono/Kusuhara pair, who won the first set, took the match tie-break to 10 points and won the championship, even though it was said to be a set everywhere.
