Details

Mt. Moiwa is located at the almost center of Sapporo. A Swiss-made mini cable car designed to observe the forest runs to the altitude of 531m, this mountain is easily reached to the peak so loved by Sapporo citizens, there are five mountain trails to go up to the peak.

A peak of the mountain provides a 360-degree panoramic stunning view without any obstruction including Ishikari Plain, Ishikari Bay, and Mashike Mt.Shokanbetu. No other word to depict a changeable seasonal scenery of the rich nature than excitement!

Sapporo’s night view designated as One of the New Japan's Three Best Night Views is especially recommended during a tour of Mt. Moiwa. The night view from the peak is called the most beautiful scenery in Hokkaido and a must-visit spot for dating. City lights and illuminations of Sapporo spreading under the lucid sky in Hokkaido make a twinkly spark like a jewelry as if shining rug is spread on Ishikari Plain.
