[2025 Sapporo Attraction] Travel Guide for Hiraoka Park (Updated Jun)

After enjoying the cherry blossoms, you can head to the other side of Hiraoka Park, the Earth Plaza. This area is filled with lush greenery and a vast expanse of green grass. Lying on the grass, you can smell the fresh scent of grass, which is very relaxing. You can feel the whole atmosphere of spring in full bloom, which is very comfortable. Take a break and think about what to eat for dinner. It's a good question to consider every day—what to eat and what you haven't tried yet. It's a bit of a busy life, isn't it?

Today, I visited Hiraoka Park in Sapporo. It's a large park filled with cherry blossoms, but most of them are short and not very tall. The flowers are not very dense, but since the cherry trees are not tall, it's perfect for taking photos. Close-up shots look great. There are also related cherry blossom products available for purchase along the roadside, giving off a strong Japanese vibe!

#thingstodo Great park for a little adventure. Good for training on outdoor activities like trekking, hiking, and birdwatching. Note that there are two parts of the park: the smaller one with the sport fields and playground area, and the bigger one with forest and swamp areas and plum grooves. I wasn't aware of any connecting road between the two parts. The nearest JR train and subway stations are more than 2 km away.

Come early May, as most of the Japanese archipelago is slowly transitioning from the midst of spring to early summer; northernmost Hokkaido prefecture is still one step behind, frozen in time
