Last update :

Moerenuma Park, an art park, was created as part of the Circular Greenbelt Concept, which aims to surround Sapporo's urban area with a belt of parks and green spaces. Sculptor Isamu Noguchi designed the entire park as a sculpture artwork, and visitors can see the park's various faces as the seasons change.

The "Glass Pyramid," a glass structure with a triangular surface, a square pyramid, and a cube, is one of Moerenuma Park's symbolic structures. And the reflection changes with the hour, displaying various expressions such as a blue sky during the day and a sunset at night. Visitors can enjoy the scenery throughout the day, which may change to a gradation of colors depending on the time of day.

Another highlight is a sculpture known as "Mt. Moere," which is 52 meters tall and can be reached on foot. There are straight and curved routes, and each offers a unique view of Mt. Moere. From the summit, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of Moerenuma Park.

Highlights

  • It's the “Sculpture of the Earth”, which took 23 years to transform from a waste disposal site.
  • The symbol of the park is the “Glass Pyramid.”
  • One of the largest sculptures in the park is "Mt. Moere”.

    大好きな公園。この公園に来るためだけに、毎年1度は札幌に行きます。初夏や、秋の初めのころの、芝生が青々とした季節が気持ちよくておすすめです。広いので公園内の移動にはレンタサイクルがいいですよ。イサムノグチデザインの遊具やダイナミックな噴水ショーも見どころです。
    ※モエレ山に自転車が置いてある写真とガラスのピラミッドの写真は、アートフェスをやっていた時のものです。
