About Sapporo Sheep Hill Observation Deck
With its magnificent seasonal rural scenery, it is an excellent spot for photography.
Details
From the Sapporo Sheep Hill Observation Deck, one can enjoy breathtaking natural scenery. In spring, there are lush green pastures; in summer, lavender blooms; in autumn, the leaves turn vibrant colors; and in winter, a pristine white snow blanket covers the ground. The magnificent landscapes that change with the seasons are hard to believe, especially since this attraction is located within the bustling city of Sapporo, which has a population of 2 million. With beautiful sights to behold throughout the year, it attracts countless photography enthusiasts.
The "Dr. William Smith Clark Statue," inspired by the famous quote "Boys, be ambitious," is also a popular photo spot. The pose of raising his right hand symbolizes that "eternal truths lie far away," conveying the great ambition that people should have in pursuing truth.
After enjoying the grand scenery, it is recommended to taste Hokkaido's local delicacy, "Genghis Khan BBQ." At the restaurant in the Sheep Hill Observation Deck, you can savor the "Sapporo style," where raw ham is grilled and then dipped in sauce, as well as the method originating from Takikawa City, where meat slices are marinated in sauce for flavor.
Highlights
The park is located in the central area of Sapporo, a city with a population of 2 million, and boasts a beautiful natural environment. Taking a commemorative photo while raising your right hand alongside Dr. Clark is also quite popular. During the spring shearing season until the snowfall, you can see flocks of sheep grazing every day. Please do not touch the sheep. You can enjoy Genghis Khan barbecue at the restaurant in the Sheep Hill observation deck.
