About
Moerenuma Park is a landscape sculpture Mecca designed by Isamu Noguchi offering distinctive expressions of the four seasons Moerenuma Park is designed by sculpture artist Isamu Noguchi as a work of sculpture art in itself. The park was reborn from a waste disposal site and transformed into an art park representative of Sapporo over a period of 23 years. The grand scale of this project earned it the name “landscape sculpture.” Visitors can enjoy different scenery depending on the time of the day and season. Instead of picturing yourself in a park, you should probably think of yourself as being inside a huge sculpture piece.

Went on a Saturday morning. It was just magical. Walking through powdery snow with no crowds, it was a great opportunity to appreciate nature.

Visited with family
Pros:
1) This park can be reached via train and bus. Ensure to read and understand the directions carefully because it can be confusing.
2) Best to visit with a full stomach and bring some drinks and snacks. My family and I visited right before lunch, luckily there was a small cafe inside the park which was quite a walk from the main entrance.
3) There is a bike rental a few meters from the entrance. Suggest to rent one. The park is huge and easier to cycle than walk.
4) There were many attractions to visit but my favorite is the pyramid-shaped museum and cycling around the park.
5) Allot 1 whole day or at least half day to visit. It closes around 5pm so best to start early.
6) It is definitely child-friendly.
7) Best toilet to use is at the pyramid-shaped museum.
8) Wear something comfortable since this is an outdoor place.
The only con I can think of is the insects that appeared around 5pm on the way to the bus station. It was similar to the insects we experienced at the Shiroi Koibito Park.
A must-visit.

The park can be reached by riding a train from Sapporo Station and a bus. Travel time is less than an hour.
The park is filled with man made features like Mount Moere a 62 meters tall and offers great views of the park and the surrounding area and a Louvre like pyramid building made of glass called Hidamari which is a gallery space.

The spacious park includes art installents, hilld, many walking and cycling trails and and much more. Cycling is the best option. It offers great views of the city if you climb to the top of the hills.

Got here in the evening, so only managed to visit the pyramid, and walk around a little. The pyramid is beautiful, with lovely views from the top. The park is also lovely, with lots of sculptures, if only I had more time.

We went here by city bus and got lots of help from fellow passengers to find it. it is one of our most prominent memories of sapporo, and indeed of japan in general.
do NOT miss the fountain show, preferably the one that occurs after dark.

This is a huge public park and we wanted to visit the different attractions like the fountain, the hill and the Glass Pyramid.
We underestimated our time. We came to the park around 4pm and by the time we walked up to the top of the hill, it was sunset already. The walk up was around 20 minutes. It was dark and everything was closed by the time we came down.
The view was amazing at the top as you can see the skyline of downtown Sapporo with the snow mountains in the background. It was a bit chilly too due to the icy winds.

This spot is far from the center of Sapporo city, it takes 50-minutes by the train and local bus. From the nearest bus stop 'Toyohata' it's a 15-minute walk to the center of the park. In this park, there are white birch trees, artificial hills and a pyramid of glass. You can rent a bike for 300 yen per 2 hours to cycle around this big site. The bicycle station is nearby a car parking lot. When I visited this park, it was a sunny day and I could enjoy walking in the great fresh air. Most of the visitors were families with kids. Some of them were playing with a kite. It looked enjoyable.

This park took my breath away. It was quiet when I visited the park and it was so calming to walk around. Viewpoints from some sculptures were breathtaking. I would go back here in a heartbeat!

when is the best time/date/month to visit Sapporo and have a glimpse of Cherry blossoms?
maritora

If you want to enjoy Cherry blossoms in Hokkaido prefecture, the end of April and the beginning of May is the best season. In a park Maruyama you can enjoy a picnic around cherry blossoms.

According to the website, the bike rental is located at right next of P1 parking area (not inside of Glass Pyramid).
They allow people to rent the bikes 2 hrs before the park closes.

What is the best way to get to Moerenuma Park from Sapporo. We would like to get to the South Gate. I heard you can only get there by car or the best way to get there is by car. However we will not have a car in Sapporo. Do we have an option?

Depending where you are staying in Sapporo, you need to find your way to Kanjodori Higashi Statiin of Toho Line, from there, you can take either bus Higashi 69 or Higashi 79 to 'Moere Koen Higashiguchi' bus stop, then a 10-minute walk to the Glass Pyramid.

The park is mainly covered by grassland and hills. Not much autumn leaves.
Hokkaido University, Maruyama park would be good for autumn view.

The park is wheelchair friendly,great paths all around. You can hire bicycles but I didn't see any notice regarding wheelchairs. There is a lift to the top of the glass pyramid for views of the park.

Hello! Are all the bikes available for rent, the two wheel kind? Any tricycle types for people who do not know how to ride a two-wheel bike or cannot ride a bike? Thank you!
