Sapporo Art Park
A Hands-On Art Experience Surrounded by Nature
If you want to enjoy art on your Hokkaido trip, Sapporo Art Park is a must-visit destination. Spanning 40 hectares of lush greenery, the park offers museums, craft workshops, an outdoor stage, and a sculpture garden—perfect for experiencing art up close.
The Sculpture Garden features unique works collected from artists around the world. Visitors can admire them closely, touch some pieces, and take photos for memorable moments. At the woodcraft and glass workshops, you can even try making your own creations. The outdoor stage, known for hosting music festivals and the Sapporo City Jazz Festival, offers a special time where music and art blend naturally with the surrounding forest.
Other highlights include the former home of Sapporo-linked novelist Takeo Arishima and an open-air museum scattered with sculptures across the hills. In winter, put on snowshoes and explore a “White Art Wonderland,” enjoying the magical combination of snow and art.
During your visit, take a break at the park’s restaurant and savor dishes made with local Hokkaido ingredients while admiring seasonal landscapes. Sapporo Art Park promises a unique Hokkaido experience where nature and art come together for an unforgettable visit.
