From the outdoor observation deck at the mountaintop, the view is breathtaking and magnificent, with an unobstructed panorama.
However, the wind on the mountain is really cold, so be sure to bring a thick coat to stay warm. That way, you can fully enjoy the dazzling night view of Sapporo gradually lighting up before your eyes.
Mt. Moiwa
Just about 20 minutes by public transport from downtown Sapporo, Mt. Moiwa stands 531 meters tall and still preserves its primeval forest. Its easy accessibility has made it a beloved getaway for locals.
Standing on the observation deck at the summit of Mt. Moiwa, the wind blowing toward me carried the evening chill. All around, the golden-orange afterglow of the sunset gradually sinking behind the mountains gave way to a deep blue sky.
Looking up at the delicate Bell of Happiness in the center, the surrounding railings were covered with sparkling heart-shaped locks, filling the air with a romantic and peaceful atmosphere.
As night completely fell, I looked down over Sapporo, renowned as one of Japan's New Three Major Night Views. The endless, dazzling lights spread out beneath my feet like scattered diamonds, and the visual impact was truly overwhelming.
Overall, this is an iconic attraction with extremely magnificent scenery and a breathtaking night view. If you have the chance to visit Sapporo, it's well worth making time to go up the mountain and experience it for yourself.
