Sapporo Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill
Enjoy majestic views at the famous sightseeing spot that is representative of Sapporo
Sapporo Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill is located about 30 minutes away from Sapporo City. The Observation Hill offers sweeping views of the typical Hokkaido scenery of sheep grazing in a vast pastureland, as well as a majestic view of Ishikari Plain. The statue of Dr. Clark, the symbol of the Observation Hill, is a popular photography spot. We also recommend taking a commemorative photograph in the "Clark pose," with your right hand raised just like Dr. Clark's statue.
The Sapporo Snow Festival Museum, located on the same premises, displays photographs and panels about the history of the Sapporo Snow Festival, along with models of snow statues from the past.
There are also many fun events every season! Watch sheep being sheared and kite chain flying in spring, and try your hand at harvesting lavender in summer. There are gourmet events in autumn that feature Hokkaido's seasonal ingredients, and snow-play at the Snow Park in winter. There are plenty of activities that both children and grownups can enjoy. You can also have a "Genghis Khan" meal (grilled mutton) at the restaurant!
