Maruyama Park

Best place to go to see the shimaenaga birds! These birds that are only found in Hokkaido in the whole world so they’re quite a rare sight to see, I definitely recommend squeezing this place in your itinerary to see them! Come early in the morning, by 9 all of them had pretty much left the park so I recommend coming between 7-8 for best chances. I followed the sound of high pitched chirping and found an entire flock of them at the very tops of the trees. They may be hard to see if you don’t have good eyesight, binoculars, a professional camera, or an iPhone 14 Pro because they are really tiny and hang out at the very tops of the trees about 20 feet off the ground. I have perfect vision so I could spot them well enough with just my eyes but just be warned if you have bad eyesight to bring your glasses or a pair of binoculars. We managed to take these photos with the iPhone 14 Pro camera on RAW mode zoomed in at max but a normal phone camera or normal camera without some crazy huge attachment won’t be able to catch them. These birds are so incredibly cute and probably my new favorite birds now after coming to Hokkaido! Also, if you don’t care much for looking at rare birds this is also a great park for fun snow activities if you come in winter. They have tubes you can borrow for free to slide down the snow hills, an ice slide, and it’s also a great place for snowman building, snow ball fights, and snow angels! Definitely recommend coming here for all sorts of fun activities!

Beautiful winter park. Words cannot really tell!!! It takes you 15mins on MRT to the park. Lots of places that you (and your kids) can play with snow, take photos. Strongly recommend to visit this park if you travel to Sapporo in winter

Maruyama Park is a must visit location for anyone traveling to Sapporo during the autumn season. The park is transformed into a colorful wonderland when the leaves turn red, making it a great place to take a walk and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The park is also located next to the famous Hokkaido Jingu and Maruyama Zoo, making it a great place to spend the day with family.
