Spectacular scenery seen by the Ainu people

Mt. Moiwa is located almost in the center of Sapporo city. From the top of the mountain, which is 531 meters above sea level, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the magnificent Ishikari Plain, and the Ainu people used to call it “Inkarsipe” (the place where you always go up there to keep watch), and it was a mountain where people kept watch. It was so much so that it became.

Even today, from the observation deck at the top of the mountain, you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the urban area lined with skyscrapers and lush nature, and the night view has been selected as one of Japan’s New Three Great Night Views. We are proud of its beauty. Sapporo’s city lights and illuminations shine under the clear skies of Hokkaido. It looks beautiful in photos, but its sparkling jewel-like appearance becomes even more vivid when you look at it while feeling the cool air at the top of the mountain, giving us even more excitement and excitement.

Climbing Mt.Moiwa

Moiwa Primeval Forest, designated as a national natural monument, is a treasure trove of nature.
If you don’t usually climb mountains, why not try using the ropeway and mini cable car to go up, and take the mountain climbing course while feeling the nature on the way down?
Mt. Moiwa itself is protected as a primeval forest, so you can see small animals such as squirrels and red foxes, wild birds, insects, plants, trees, etc. up close, making it enjoyable for everyone from children to the elderly.

The nature of Mt. Moiwa where a famous scholar grew up

During the Meiji era, Sapporo’s urban development progressed and valuable primeval forests were being lost in various places.Moiwayama Primeval Forest was designated as the first natural monument in Hokkaido on March 3, 1921 (Taisho 10). It was designated as a property. Since then, it has become a familiar place for research, where renowned botany and entomology scholars have been trained, and a place for Sapporo citizens to “relax” and “learn.”

Aiming for nature-friendly tourism and coexistence with nature, Mt. Moiwa has created a nature learning trail with the hope that it will be a great place to teach children the importance of nature through contact with nature. It can also be used for field trips, suburban studies, and school trips.

When the weather is nice, you can see the Tokachi Mountain Range and Mt. Daisetsuzan.

The feeling of accomplishment when you reach the top of a mountain is incomparable to anything else. The view you can see from there is a privilege only given to those who climb the mountain. Climbing has a great effect on your physical and mental health, with delicious air, wonderful scenery, a quiet place away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and relief from your lack of daily exercise. Mt. Moiwa, where everyone from children to adults can enjoy climbing, and where you can experience nature directly just 20 minutes from central Sapporo, is loved by many Sapporo citizens.
