miike | Top 3 Cinematic Places To Visit in Sapporo! (With travel time from Sapporo) #shorts @heymiike | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Straight to the point, I’m back from Sapporo few weeks ago and these are my top 3 spots to visit!
1. Otaru
An atmospheric port town with a romantic canal, around 1 hour train ride from central Sapporo, so it’s a nice day trip.
Many of the stately stone buildings of the banks and trading companies that were built in those days still remain, forming a romantic cityscape around Otaru Canal. Some of these historical buildings have been transformed into hotels, restaurants, and stores.
There are many beautiful spots near the port, when sunny it’s a super beautiful place to take photos or videos, even when cloudy it’s super moody too so I really like it there!
If you visit during winter, there are lots of snow around canal area so not many space to take photos, only on the bridge.
Make sure you try the street food there before the bridge, also visit the shopping district, there are so many shops to visit and can literally last the whole day, so make sure to spend the whole day there!
2. Makomanai Takino Cemetery
Located on the outskirts of Sapporo City, around 1h train+bus ride from central Sapporo, is a vast green space that features a collection of commanding statues—most notably, 40 moai (Easter Island) heads, a Stonehenge replica, and a giant Buddha statue.
The scenery is super photogenic, also don’t forget to try the food in the local restaurant in the cemetery, I’ve tried their katsu curry rice and I can tell you, IT IS THE BOMB! And it’s super reasonable price too, so 10/10 recommended to spend lunch time there!
3. Moerenuma Park
About 1h bus ride from central Sapporo, Moerenuma Park features 126 play equipment designed by sculpture artist Isamu Noguchi, which can be enjoyed by all ages, including as play structures by children or works of art to admire by adults.
Visitors can enjoy different scenery depending on the time of the day and season. Instead of picturing yourself in a park, you should probably think of yourself as being inside a huge sculpture piece.
You can even rent skiing gear to use in the park during winter instead of walking, super cool!
Share to friends who are going to Sapporo soon!
Also I will share some amazing cinematic footages from these places, so follow for more!
