Nakajima Park (中島公園)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A comprehensive park beloved by Sapporo residents, located within walking distance of the Toyohira River (豊平川) fireworks venue. With lush greenery centered around Shobu Pond (菖蒲池), the spacious park is perfect for spreading out a leisure sheet and spending time in the cool evening breeze. Restaurants and convenience stores surround the park, so it's recommended to purchase dinner before entering. As the sun sets, the flow of people heading to the fireworks festival increases, so finish your meal early before it gets crowded. It's reassuring to check restroom locations in advance.

Tips

Just a short walk from Nakajima Koen Station on the Nanboku Line subway. Free admission. The viewing area on the Toyohira River floodplain is approximately 10-15 minutes on foot. On the fireworks day, surrounding roads become congested from evening onward, so enter the park early and allow plenty of time for movement. Acquire drinks and light snacks before entering the park.

Best time to visit

Takes approximately 2 hours 15 minutes. The water surface of Shobu Pond at dusk is beautiful, and you can enjoy the quiet time before the fireworks.
