About this experience
Mount Moiwa, situated at the centre of Sapporo, is a majestic peak towering 531 meters above sea level, surrounded by a pristine virgin forest. To experience its full beauty, you can take two unique journeys. First, the ropeway ride provides a panoramic view of the city. Then, you can board the mini cable car, which takes you on a scenic ride through the lush forest to reach the summit. Once you arrive, the observatory deck awaits, offering unparalleled views of Sapporo's landscape.
