We've curated a selection of popular Sapporo nighttime destinations, allowing you to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and take a short, relaxing Hokkaido night trip.

Moerenuma Park | Hokkaido Night Sightseeing Bus Tour
Moerenuma, known as "slow-flowing river" in the Ainu language of Hokkaido's indigenous people, was designed by world-renowned sculptor Isamu Noguchi, based on the concept of "the whole as a sculpture." Construction took 23 years, from the Showa era to the Heisei era, before it was finally completed and opened to the public. The park boasts a wealth of geometrically designed mountains, fountains, and attractions, offering visitors a beautiful blend of nature and art.

In spring, cherry blossoms bloom, while in summer, water play areas and fountains open, adding a refreshing touch to Sapporo's summer. Surrounded by autumn foliage in autumn and snowy winters, the park offers a unique charm with distinct seasons, offering opportunities for cross-country skiing and sledding.

In the center, the "Sea Mist" water sculpture, which erupts up to 25 meters high, is a breathtaking sight. At night, when illuminated, the light and water create a myriad of transformations, making it a truly remarkable sight.

Asahiyama Memorial Park | Hokkaido Nighttime Sightseeing Bus Tour
Although it shares its name with the Asahiyama Zoo, Asahiyama Memorial Park is not located in the far north of Hokkaido, but near Mt. Moiwa in Sapporo. Constructed in 1970 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of Sapporo City, it will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2020, marking the city's 150th anniversary.

Besides its vast green space, Asahiyama Memorial Park is also a popular spot for Sapporo residents to enjoy the night view. The bird's-eye view of Sapporo from the 137.5-meter-high observation deck is truly spectacular, even offering a panoramic view of the Sea of Japan. The combination of the illuminated fountain and the Sapporo cityscape across the way creates a truly magical scene.

From the 137.5-meter-high observation deck, you can see the Ishikari Plains, the Sea of Japan, and Sapporo city. The contrast between the illuminated fountain and the Sapporo cityscape across the way is particularly captivating.
