Nature Trail: Sankakuyama to Bankei Route (Yamanote Entrance)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A low mountain of about 300 meters in Yamanote, Nishi Ward, long loved by Sapporo residents as a place to walk. Although it borders the built-up area, the air turns to forest as soon as you enter the trail, and the light falling between the trees and the calls of birds feel close at hand. The path is well trodden and the signs are clear, making it easy to walk even with children. You do not have to reach the summit; turning back at an open viewpoint along the way is enjoyable enough. Since water play awaits in the afternoon, the aim of this course is to stop at a comfortable point.

Tips

The trail is a dirt path, so wear comfortable walking shoes rather than sandals. Insects appear in summer, so repellent makes it more comfortable. The area around the trailhead is residential and parking is limited, so consider using public transport. Be sure to bring drinks.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 45 minutes. The cool early morning is the easiest time to walk.
