Maruyama Park is located in Sapporo, Hokkaido. It is a well-known local nature and recreation spot and a great place to visit in any season. The park is lush with greenery and has extensive forest trails and diverse wildlife. In spring, many people come to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom, while fall brings colorful maple leaves and scenery that makes you want to linger. The park is near Hokkaido Shrine and Maruyama Zoo, so travelers can visit them together.
