About

This large park is on the outskirts of Sapporo, Japan. It was designed by renowned Japanese landscape architect and artist Isamu Noguchi.

It features an art gallery inside a giant glass pyramid, a human-made geyser, perfectly sculpted hills (perfect for sledding down in Sapporo's long winters!), and sculptures hiding between the 3,000 cherry trees.

You can also hire a pair of cross-country skis or snowboots in winter, or a bike in summer!

Know Before You Go
