Moerenuma Park

Moerenuma Park is a comprehensive park located in Sapporo, planned and built based on the "Circular Greenbelt Concept," which aims to surround the city of Sapporo with parks and green spaces. Construction began in 1982 (Showa 57), and the park was completed and officially opened in 2005 (Heisei 17). The park's master plan was designed by a world-renowned sculptor, built on the concept of "condensing the entire park into a single sculpture." Across the vast park grounds, hills, fountains, and play facilities featuring numerous geometric elements are arranged in an orderly fashion, presenting visitors with a beautiful landscape where nature and art are cleverly combined. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom. In summer, facilities like the water park and fountains open, adding a vibrant touch to Sapporo's refreshing summer. In the fall, the park is adorned with autumn leaves, and in winter, it becomes a world of ice and snow, where people can enjoy cross-country skiing and sledding. Furthermore, the park was originally built on a waste disposal site. The Glass Pyramid inside utilizes the local natural resource—snow—to provide air conditioning for the interior. Therefore, Moerenuma Park has garnered significant attention for its design philosophy of environmental conservation.

Sapporo TV Tower

The Sapporo TV Tower, standing approximately 147 meters tall at the eastern end of Odori Park, is a landmark of Sapporo and a popular spot that tourists should definitely visit. From the observation deck, approximately 90 meters above ground, you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of Sapporo's cityscape, which changes its appearance with the seasons, and on a clear day you can even see the distant mountains. One of Sapporo's greatest attractions is that you can enjoy different charms throughout the year: fresh greenery in spring, Odori Park bustling with events in summer, colorful autumn leaves, and pristine white snowscapes and fantastical illuminations in winter. Especially at night, the city of Sapporo transforms into a glittering night view, enveloping you in a romantic atmosphere. The museum also has a souvenir shop and a cafe, so searching for Hokkaido-specific goods and limited-edition items is one of the fun parts of visiting. It's easily accessible, conveniently located right near Odori Station, making it a great place to visit even for first-time visitors to Sapporo. Not only is it a popular viewpoint, but it's also a great photo spot. Taking commemorative photos with the seasonal scenery and the TV Tower in the background will make your travel memories even more special. It's a place where you can experience the charm of Sapporo all at once, so be sure to visit.
