Moere Hill

Flow of the course

About this spot

An artificial hill you climb up the grassy slopes of Moerenuma Park. It is not especially high, but because the surrounding land is flat, standing at the top brings Sapporo's cityscape and the wide sky into view all at once. For children the climb itself becomes play, and running back down the grassy slope alone is enough to draw cheers. In summer the Sea Fountain shoots high into the air, and watching the water change shape feels like a run-up to the afternoon's water play. Choose a shaded patch of grass, lay out a picnic sheet, and it turns straight into a lunch spot.

Tips

You'll be climbing a slope, so shoes that are easy to walk in are safer than sandals. There is almost no shade here, so be sure to bring a hat and drinks. The Sea Fountain runs on a set schedule, so checking the times when you arrive means you won't miss it. Securing a shaded spot before laying out lunch makes the break far more comfortable.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 50 minutes. Deciding whether to eat before or after the climb based on the day's heat keeps it easy
