- Introduction to attractions -
- Okurayama Ski Jump Arena
Okurayama overlooks the streets of Sapporo and the distant horizon. In 1972, the Sapporo Winter Olympics were held in Sapporo. Okurayama was well known as the ski jumping arena at that time. Now, it is equipped with advanced modern facilities, which can carry out summer jumping sports and night jumping competitions, and has held many international competitions. Take the double lift to reach the starting point of the ski jumping competition at an altitude of 307 meters. Looking out from the observation hall, you will have a panoramic view of Sapporo City's neighborhoods and the vast Ishikari Plain, which is very spectacular. Show your regular sightseeing bus ticket to enjoy a discount on the Okurayama Cable Car ticket price. The discounted price is 900 yen for adults and 450 yen for children.
- Hitsujigaoka Observation Deck
Hitsujigaoka Observation Deck is located in the city of Sapporo, with vast pastures where sheep are grazed, full of northern pastoral style. Looking around, you can see the scenery of Ishikari Plain. The bronze statue of Dr. William Smith Clark, the father of Hokkaido's development, was completed in 1976 by the sculptor Mr. Michio Hankan. It stands here with the sentence "boys, be ambitious". Holding your right hand high and pointing into the distance means "the eternal truth is on the far side", which means looking into the distance with ambition. There is also the "Sapporo Branpage (White Birch Forest) Church" as a wedding venue to bless the newlyweds. Towards a new milestone and towards a happy life.
