Makomanai Park

🌿 Nature & Parks · Sapporo, Hokkaido · ★4.1 (1,724)

Makomanai Park is a sprawling green space in Sapporo that served as a venue for the 1972 Winter Olympics, featuring well-maintained athletic facilities, botanical gardens, and peaceful walking trails. The park is especially beautiful during cherry blossom season in spring and when leaves change color in autumn, offering a tranquil escape from the city. Visitors can enjoy outdoor activities year-round, including ice skating in winter at the covered speed skating rink and exploring the Japanese-style gardens in warmer months.
