Parks und Gärten in Sapporo

Sapporo Parks and Gardens

Sapporo’s urban landscape is defined by its expansive green spaces, ranging from the central Odori Park, which hosts major seasonal festivals, to the Isamu Noguchi-designed Moerenuma Park, a massive sculptural landscape built on a former waste treatment site. The list includes the Meiji-era Hokkaido Shrine, set within a dense forest, and Yurigahara Park, known for its collection of 6,400 plant species. Visitors can also explore Nakajima Park’s historic Hohei-kan building or the nature trails connecting Maruyama Park to the city’s municipal zoo.
