    Sapporo, Hokkaido, Higashi-ku, Moerenuma Park 1-1
    Moerenuma Park is a comprehensive park in northeast Sapporo for which globally renowned sculptor Isamu Noguchi created the basic design. Based on the concept of “the whole being a single sculpture,” it was recommended to build on a site where 2.7 million tons of waste had been put in landfill, and the park opened in 2005. Hills with geometric forms, fountains, and play equipment have been arranged in a vast site equivalent to 40 Tokyo Domes, allowing a landscape that fuses art and nature to be enjoyed. Another attraction is that seasonal pastimes can be enjoyed with cherry blossoms in the spring, water activities in the summer, autumn leaves in the fall, and cross country skiing in the winter.

    A sunken garden sprawling in front of the Sapporo Shiryokan (Former Sapporo Court of Appeals) abutting the western end of Odori Park. A rose garden, some 55 varieties of roses bloom across the garden from spring to summer. The sunken space in the center with a canal is modeled after the style of European gardens. Located close to Sapporo's downtown area, it can be fun to get something to go at a cafe and take it here to enjoy while strolling the grounds. Also a perfect place for a little morning walk, the garden serves as a space for local residents to relax and refresh themselves.

Hokkaido Areas

around-area-map

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
