Asahiyama Memorial Park: Everything You Need Before Visiting

Q: What is the best time to visit Asahiyama Memorial Park in Sapporo?

Asahiyama Memorial Park is a stunning destination throughout the year, but for the most breathtaking experience, consider visiting during the evening. The park's nightscape, with its blend of natural beauty and city lights, is truly unforgettable. Additionally, the Sapporo Asahiyama Music Festival in July offers a unique cultural experience, making it an excellent time to visit.

Q: How can I get to Asahiyama Memorial Park from central Sapporo?

Reaching Asahiyama Memorial Park is quite convenient. If you prefer driving, it's about a 15-minute car ride from central Sapporo, which is ideal given the park's location atop a steep hill. Alternatively, you can take the JR Hokkaido Bus maru no. 13 on the Asahiyamakoen line from Maruyamakoen Station on the subway Tozai line. The bus journey takes around 15 minutes, followed by a short 4-minute walk from the Asahiyamakoenmae stop.

Q: What are the operating hours for Asahiyama Memorial Park's facilities?

The facilities at Asahiyama Memorial Park, including Morinoie and the resthouse, are open from Friday to Sunday and on holidays. Morinoie operates from 10:00 to 16:00, while the resthouse is open from 10:00 to 17:00. However, please be aware that these hours might vary due to COVID-19, so it's a good idea to check in advance.

You can use the QR code to redeem your physical ticket at the Ticket Counter on the 3rd floor. It's very convenient. Upstairs, there's a small observation deck with four sides. Make the most of your visit! Haha.

In the afternoon, I took the JR train from Otaru back to Sapporo, and visited the T38 Observation Deck before evening. I purchased tickets instantly via KLOOK to enjoy the daytime view, sunset, and night view, along with a delicious ice cream float. Afterward, I headed downstairs for dinner and shopping. It was a fulfilling and wonderful itinerary!

I went to see the penguins, and it was nice to see them up close. It's floors 4-6, with penguins on the 6th floor, starfish on the 5th, and jellyfish on the 4th. Everyone has a different perspective, I guess.

Fun and unique experience! Really love it, there are so many pigs and they just love to cuddle with human. They smell alright no bad smell. They just chew the air and they are potty trained so they won’t pee or poop at you 😂. They do poop on the floor but the staff will cleaned it immediately. Highly recommend to go this outlet as it is not crowded.

The bus used for this tour has very spacious and comfortable seats, and the driver is Japanese. The four main attractions on this day trip are definitely the most worth visiting in Biei and Furano. The tour guide, Habi, was very professional and even willing to add LINE to provide pre-trip consultation services, as well as offering great restaurant recommendations. Providing explanations in multiple languages was quite impressive, and make sure to buy the potato chips he recommended. As for the two ramen restaurants for lunch, many locals start coming in to eat after 12:00 PM, so don't wander around the market when you arrive—go straight to eat. There is a delicious bakery inside the market where you can buy some snacks to eat on the bus ride back. Biei and Furano are a bit cooler than Sapporo, and the Blue Pond, in particular, gets extremely cold at night, so be sure to bring enough warm clothing.

We are not prepared at all in the photoshoot because of the lack of time we have but maybe next time we will rent for a kimono for a more japanese vibes. Overall good experience, our photographer Jack-san is very nice and puts an effort to get the attention of our baby. We appreciate that. Thank you.
