Sapporo's 'Moerenuma Park': The Best Spot for Snow Viewing in the City

Japan Travel Diary 46: Sapporo Edition 📍Moerenuma Park Since there isn’t much snow accumulation in downtown Sapporo, many visitors often join Biei tours to enjoy the snowy scenery. However, Moerenuma Park offers a fantastic snow experience without having to travel far from Sapporo. This park, featuring a glass pyramid, is known for its deep snow—so much so that if you stray from the designated paths, you might sink into snow up to your thighs!✨ With dense fir trees and birch forests, it’s a perfect spot for taking photos and enjoying snow activities🌲. Inside the glass pyramid, you can even rent sleds, making it an ideal place for sledding fun. The park’s vast expanse is perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in a pristine white snowfield❄️. If you’re looking for a snow-filled adventure without dedicating an entire day like a Biei tour, this is the place to visit☺️. 🚇How to Get to Moerenuma Park from Sapporo 1.
