Sapporo Satoland, Agricultural theme park in Higashi-ku, Sapporo, Japan.
Sapporo Satoland is a large agricultural park in Higashi-ku spread across 74 hectares with vegetable fields, animal farms, flower gardens, and open lawns. The grounds also feature barbecue areas and a miniature steam train for exploring the property.
The park was established in 1995 to help urban residents experience farming methods and cultivation techniques firsthand. This founding goal of merging practical learning with leisure time continues to shape how the place operates.
The place serves as a gathering point for families wanting to understand vegetable farming and farm work firsthand. Seasonal events showcase local Hokkaido produce and help visitors connect with where their food comes from.
Visitors can harvest vegetables from June to November and feed or touch farm animals throughout the grounds. A miniature steam train runs regularly and lets you explore all areas of the park without walking the entire distance.
During winter months the grounds shift to snow activities while farm education programs continue indoors in heated buildings. This allows visitors to switch between farmwork and winter sports throughout the year.
