Toyohira Park Green Center

Flow of the course

About this spot

A facility inside Toyohira Park (豊平公園) that combines greenhouses with gardening information. Step into the indoor greenhouse and you are enveloped in a deep green quite unlike outside, so you can stroll at your own pace out of the summer sun. The plants have name tags, so asking your children "what kind of tree is this?" as you go turns an ordinary walk into a time of observation. The park itself has plenty of trees too, and simply doing a loop of the grounds after leaving the facility makes for a pleasant walk. Starting a water play day in a quiet place makes the contrast with the lively afternoon all the more enjoyable.

Tips

Check the opening hours and closed days in advance. Humidity is high inside the greenhouse, so clothing that is not too heavily layered is more comfortable. The layout is easy to enter with a stroller, but some passages narrow, so take care when it is crowded. Using the restrooms before heading to Sapporo Factory makes the trip easier.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 20 minutes. Right after opening in the morning there are few people and you can look around at leisure.
