Gardens and Parks

Hokkaido University’s lush green campus is nestled in the heart of Sapporo – a city with more than 1.9 million residents. Despite its location directly in front of Sapporo Station, it maintains the feel of Hokkaido’s pristine, unspoiled natural environment with its green urban oasis. A clear stream known as the Sakushukotoni River flows idyllically among the trees and over vast expanses of Central Lawn. It is little wonder the university is often voted as having the most beautiful campus in Japan.
