Sapporo｜For a daily city stroll, why not find a park to heal yourself?

1️⃣ Nakajima Park (P6-8)​ 【💦 Film-like lake views and the aroma of coffee】 Nakajima Park is a large urban park. The ultramarine "Hoheikan" and the sunlit "Shobu Lake" with its film-like texture are both worth visiting; stepping out of the subway station, I was amazed by the warm sunlight. The stranded boats and benches by the lake create a scene of "beautiful moments"; I recommend setting aside time to try rowing. By the way, the "smooch coffee" next to the park tastes amazing too! This is my second visit~ · 2️⃣ Maruyama Park (P9-12)​ 【🎨 A forest park full of natural colors】 Maruyama Park is located at the foot of a small hill in southwestern Sapporo, with a surprisingly high forest coverage. Passing through the torii gate intertwined with greenery, you can reach the famous Hokkaido Shrine, where various cute omamori (charms) are sold! The shrine’s tea house nearby is also perfect for having tea and snacks~ If you’re traveling with kids and have enough time, I also recommend visiting the adjacent Maruyama Zoo~ · 3️⃣ Hokkaido University (P13-15)​ 【⛪️ Like a tour of Western-style architecture】 Hokkaido University is worth visiting in all seasons. In my heart, Western-style architecture is definitely the star; the vintage school buildings and the Meiji-era style "Furukawa Hall" are surrounded by vegetation, full of European romantic vibes. On a windy autumn day, lively students still ride their bikes, dancing with the fallen leaves 🍂; if you visit in autumn or winter, don’t miss the famous "Poplar Avenue" and "Ginkgo Avenue"! · 4️⃣ Sapporo Art Park (P16-17)​ 【🌳 An art museum hidden in the forest】 Experiencing the "Art Park Outdoor Museum" on a rainy day can definitely be called an outdoor art museum in the forest. Walking along the trails, you can’t help but admire one sculpture after another that harmonizes with nature. Some artworks give you a tranquil feeling as if traveling through time and space, while others humorously tease humanity and interact with each visitor. I believe everyone will feel different vitality through their own interpretations. Totally worth it!! ·
