Moiwayama

Sapporo Fushimi Inari Shrine is a hillside Shinto shrine known for its long row of red torii gates climbing through the forest on the slopes of Mt Moiwa. Founded in 1907, it is a pleasant combination of shrine, woodland walk and mountain scenery, and is quieter than Kyoto's famous Fushimi Inari.

A beautiful flower garden and natural park that overlooks the city center. Noted for being a good place for romance, and is particularly good for cherry blossoms in spring and autumn colors, and local wildlife such as squirrels and foxes (somewhat of a feral pest around Sapporo).

The Hōheikan is a distinctive Western-style building constructed in 1878 as Sapporo's first hotel and guesthouse for government officials. Its blue-and-white exterior reflects the American influence on early Sapporo, while the interior contains period furnishings and exhibits on the building's history. It now stands in Nakajima Park.

Nakajima Park is a large, attractive park south of central Sapporo, centred on a pond and surrounded by mature trees. It contains the historic Hōheikan, the Hassō-an tea house and the Sapporo Concert Hall, with pleasant walking paths and seasonal autumn colours.

The Sapporo Shiryokan, built in 1926 as the Sapporo Court of Appeals, is a handsome Western-style brick building in Odori Park. It now houses exhibits on Sapporo's history and the judicial system, and is notable as one of the city's surviving Taishō-period buildings.
