This place is written as [札幌芸術の森美術館] in Japanese.
Located in Minami-ku, the southern side of Sapporo, Sapporo Art Park is quite distant from the central area of Sapporo, often requiring visitors to travel there by car. As a result, it tends to be less crowded during weekdays. Visitors can enjoy hiking amidst numerous sculptures even in winter.
The Snow Light Festival (雪あかりの祭典) is held annually at the park museum at the end of January. It’s a highlight for visitors, but unfortunately, the festival lasts only one day, specifically on January 25, 2020. We’ll show you photos from this year’s festival.
