Even though located in Sapporo City with 2 million residents, Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill offers the beauty of mother nature. In spring, the hay comes out in green. In summer, lavender fields send out fragrant greetings. Fall foliage will be exquisite, and winter will spread a white snowy carpet. The majestic scenery in all four seasons is perfect for photography.

One of those spots is the Dr. Clark statue. William Smith Clark is known for his famous words “Boys, be ambitious,” as the Father of Hokkaido pioneers. The right hand raised means “the eternal truth in the far distance, and the statue represents his wish for his students to be ambitious in seeking truth.

After taking in the vast nature, taste Hokkaido’s soul food, Genghis Khan which is, Mongolian BBQ. At a rest house on Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill, you can choose from Sapporo Style that grills raw lamb and dips it in the sauce and Takigawa City Style that serves marinated meat.

Highlights

  • The park is in Sapporo, the city with 2 million residents, yet, its nature is charming.
  • Visitors love to raise their hands with Dr. Clark and take a photo.
  • From the spring shearing until snowfall, you can see sheep every day.

    羊群放牧在草原上，肚子餓還可以品嚐當地美食「成吉思汗」烤羊肉，也能在展望台看札幌市景，是北海道著名的景點。
