Easy and Active Sightseeing
Walking in Sapporo Nature Areas
Sixty percent of Sapporo is a mountainous area (southwest) known as the 150 peaks of Sapporo. In its pristine condition, about 2 million people live nearby and about 13 million people visit the city annually. Like the entrance to the area, there is a healthy natural area with a series of mountains that are just right for trekking, such as Mount Teine, Mount Sankaku, Mount Okura, Mount Enzan, and Mount Moiwa.
