Sapporo Art Park

Sapporo Art Park is a 40-hectare site containing over 70 outdoor sculptures, a modern art museum, and multiple craft studios spread across natural walking paths. The space blends art objects with forested landscape, offering different areas for viewing and hands-on creative activities.

The park was established in 1986 and underwent a three-stage renovation process completed in 1999. This transformation significantly enhanced the site's artistic and cultural facilities.

The park houses specialized workshops for pottery, weaving, printing, and woodworking where professional artists teach year-round. These craft spaces reflect a commitment to keeping traditional Japanese artistic techniques alive and visible to the public.

The park is best reached by public transportation, taking a subway line to the nearest station and then boarding a bus to the main entrance. Those planning to explore on foot should wear comfortable shoes and allow time for walking the natural trails.

The site integrates the restored Takeo Arishima Residence from 1913, which now functions as both a historical building and a cafe. This restored structure offers a window into the life of a figure from Sapporo's literary and cultural past.
