MK Guide Recommends

Nakajima Park is one of Sapporo’s most favorite green spaces, offering a mix of natural tranquility and cultural richness just south of the city center. The park features a large pond, tree-lined paths, open lawns, and seasonal gardens that change from cherry blossoms in spring to colorful foliage in autumn. Cultural sites, including the Sapporo Concert Hall Kitara and a traditional Japanese tea house, add an artistic touch to the landscape and draw visitors year-round. Families, joggers, and travelers move at a leisurely pace, enjoying the park’s spacious layout and gentle vibe. In winter, snow turns the park into a quiet, bright area typical of Hokkaido. Nakajima Park stays a steady, restorative spot in Sapporo—wide, accessible, and connected to the rhythm of the northern climate.
