What other travelers are saying about Moerenuma Park
Once a forgotten landfill, this space has been beautifully transformed into a sprawling green park—thanks to the creativity and vision of the people. Now, it's a beloved place where Sapporo’s residents come to stroll, play, and bask in the gentle warmth of the sun, surrounded by trees and open skies. It’s a quiet reminder of how imagination can turn even the most unlikely places into something truly special.
Incredible place!
It is amazing that in the 70s it was a garbage dump and they started a redevelopment project (in the Crystal Pyramid museum they explain year by year how they were designing it). By the hand of the incredible Isamu Naguchi, the park is a complete work of art.
I recommend renting a bike (1 hour ¥100 and 2 hours ¥200, the standard bike).
Nice open park, grass nice enough to play golf on, Probably can picnic if you wanted to. Can climb both hills and enjoy the scenery. Not many shaded areas so remember to put sunblock before coming. Some exhibits are closed during certain months so check in advance
Quiet, peaceful, green - a park to visit if you like Noguchi or some zen energy. It’s not close to major tourist spots - to visit this park, around 1hr public transport, metro + bus is required. But it’s definitely worth it if you have spare half day in Sapporo - walk around, climb the green hills, sit in the glass pyramid, or renting a bike to cycle around the park, get your picnic food sitting under the tree to appreciate early cherry blossom in late April or read some books. It’s a place to chill and recharge.
Nice place to go for a day trip. Lots of people doing picnic, walking their dogs and simple sports activities. Really nice sunset from the top of the hill.
