4.3 · 10,050 reviews · GOOGLE_MAPS
Cedar woods said to remain from Maruyama Yojuen continue into Maruyama Genshirin. A 15-meter waterfall has a place where visitors can view it, and both Maruyama Genshirin and Moiwa Genshirin are designated National Natural Monuments. Look out, too, for statues and stone monuments connected with Hokkaido’s and Sapporo’s development.
Hokkaido Shrine, Maruyama Zoo, Maruyama Baseball Stadium, and Maruyama Athletics Stadium are all within the park, along with other sports facilities. Since the shrine was established, the park has been used for worship, events, and cherry-blossom viewing; from the late Meiji era into the Taisho era, it was developed as a park with sports grounds. Spring brings cherry blossoms near the entrance, weeping cherry trees, and rows of blossoms near the shrine. In winter, there’s a walking-ski course. Pick a season, then plan a forest stroll or a stop at the zoo! 🌸
