    Maruyama Park is a popular place in central Sapporo for enjoying nature and relaxing. Strolling through the park, you'll find lush greenery and peaceful surroundings, along with a unique atmosphere where nature and shrine culture come together.
    It's said to be very beautiful in spring when the cherry and plum blossoms bloom at the same time, while in fall, the entire park turns red with maple leaves. Both are very charming seasons.
    Unfortunately, this visit wasn't during the popular flower season, so I didn't get to see the cherry blossoms or fall foliage. But looking at all the greenery from a different perspective had its own special charm.
    Hokkaido really does look different in every season!

    I came to Maruyama Park for a walk on a winter afternoon. The heavy snow from the previous few days had blanketed the entire park in a thick layer of white. The treetops, paths, and lawns were all covered in snow, creating a pure white winter landscape before my eyes.
    Some people leisurely walked their pets through the snow, while others built snowmen and had snowball fights. Their laughter added a lively touch to the quiet winter day. As I wandered through the park, every scene looked like a beautiful winter postcard—so romantic.

    I hope I'll have the chance to visit Maruyama Park again in different seasons to see the fresh greenery of spring, the lushness of summer, and the red maple leaves of fall, and experience for myself the different scenery each changing season brings.

    During cherry blossom season, the park is packed with people everywhere. Lots of folks are having barbecues, and you can even rent BBQ equipment inside the park.

    It's easy to get here by subway, so transportation isn't a hassle. Hokkaido Shrine is right next to the park, so after visiting the shrine, you can take some nice photos in the park.
