Parks and gardens in Sapporo

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.
