Japanese site of the '72 Winter Olympics (7)
I believe the answer is:
sapporo
'japanese site of the '72 winter olympics' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for sapporo that I've seen before include "Japan site of nineteen seventy two Winter Olympics" , "Japanese city" , "City of northern Japan - apropos (anag)" .)
