Makomanai, Residential district in Minami-ku, Sapporo, Japan
The Makomanai area encompasses 82 hectares of natural spaces with over 50,000 trees, including a notable 135-year-old specimen within its boundaries.
The neighborhood gained international recognition when its facilities served as the primary venue for multiple events during the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo.
The name Makomanai derives from Ainu language roots, translating to 'the place where the river flows', reflecting the area's connection to natural waterways.
The Makomanai Sekisui Heim Ice Arena remains open throughout winter months, providing public access to indoor skating facilities with regular admission fees.
The district features the Makomanai Takino Cemetery, designed by architect Tadao Ando, which incorporates Easter Island-style moai statues into its landscaping.
