Type of destination: Mountain/Peak
Ideal visit duration: 2-3 hours
Mount Moiwa, rising 531 meters above sea level, offers panoramic views of Sapporo and the surrounding landscape from an observation deck accessible by a cable-car ride known as the Mount Moiwa Ropeway. The ropeway takes visitors to a transfer station halfway up the mountain, where they can board a mini cable car, the 'Morris Car', to reach the summit. This mountain is a popular spot for couples due to the 'Bell of Happiness' on the observation deck and the heart-shaped monument nearby, signifying romantic commitment. The mountain is also known for its night view, considered among Japan's three best night views. Visitors can indulge in this spectacular scenery while enjoying a meal at the restaurant near the summit. Nature enthusiasts appreciate the flora and fauna on Mount Moiwa, which is home to the rare Ezo Momonga (Siberian flying squirrel) and a variety of bird species. It's a favored spot for hiking with multiple trails leading up the mountain, providing a refreshing retreat from the urban landscape of Sapporo.
