Mount Moiwa

Mount Moiwa is a popular destination for both daytime hikers and evening sightseers. A ropeway carries visitors partway up, followed by a short cable car ride to the summit, where an observation deck offers a sweeping 360-degree view. The vista is especially famous at night, when Sapporo's lights create a sparkling carpet below. Hiking trails of varying difficulty wind through forested slopes, providing a peaceful escape from the city. On clear days, you can spot the Ishikari Bay and the distant mountains. It's a quintessential Sapporo experience.

• Ride the Moiwa Ropeway and cable car for a scenic ascent through the forest.
• Take in the night panorama from the summit observation deck, one of Japan's top three night views.
• Hike the nature trail from the ropeway station to the summit for a more active outing.
