Using green landscapes as his medium, artist Isamu Noguchi designed a park like no other. The Moerenuma Park with its distinct angles, unique designs and impromptu installations won the prestigious Good Design Award in 2002. In terms of functionality, the park includes a tennis court, baseball and athletic fields, in addition to the the Glass Pyramid or Hidamari. The Hidamari includes a gallery dedicated to the works of Isamu Noguchi along with a museum shop and restaurant.

Located in the Hokkaido Nopporo Forest, just on the outskirts of Sapporo, this wonderful living history museum gives visitors a look at life in the pioneering days of Hokkaido from the Meiji Restoration (1868) onwards. It covers over 50 hectares and consists of four areas: town, mountain, farming and fishing villages. Buildings from all over Hokkaido have been transported here and reconstructed, including the old Sapporo Railway Station. Visitors can ride the horse-drawn trolleys (in winter horse-drawn sleighs are used) and participate in the seasonal events that run throughout the year.

Mount Moiwa is in the very center of Sapporo. At a height of 531 meters, it offers a fabulous panoramic view of the city and its surroundings. You can see right into the distant Sea of Japan and the Shokambetsu mountains. Mount Moiwa itself has a rich natural environment, covered with forests, so the colors of the mountains change with the seasons. The gondola ride up or down the mountain is spectacular especially at night for those with romance on their minds.

Maruyama Zoo makes for the perfect day out for the kids. Set in the idyllic surroundings of Maruyama Park, it has the feel of being miles from the city, yet it is only four subway stops away from the action. Gathered here are animals like chimps, elephants, camels and lions—but it is the polar bears that pull the most visitors. Within the grounds of the zoo there is another attraction—Kid Land—an amusement park for children of all ages.

This multipurpose venue stages soccer, baseball, concerts and exhibitions. It seats more than 40,000 spectators in a state-of-the-art setting that includes the world's first hovering soccer stage, an ascending and descending pitcher's mound, and retractable or removable seats. It is situated on 31 hectares (76 acres) on a hill on the outskirts of Sapporo surrounded by the beautiful greenery that is typical of Hokkaido. An entrance fee is applicable for visits to the observatory and for tours of the dome.

A charming farm spread across 40 hectares (98 acres), Ecorin Village is a must-visit attraction of the city. Environmental issues form the theme of this park which is home to farm animals, array of flowers and tomatoes plantations. It's here that your family can get up and close with friendly sheep and curious alpacas while soaking in the verdant beauty of the eco-friendly expanse. Through their use of recycled materials, this farm aims towards disseminating the message of sustainable growth among young minds.
