#September2024 When I came to Mt. Moiwa, I felt the unique charm of the day and night. The following is my travel experience here. After taking the cable car to the top of the mountain, I stood on the observation deck and overlooked the entire city of Sapporo. The sun shines down and the outline of the city appears before my eyes, which is really refreshing. As night falls, enjoying the night view of Sapporo from the observation deck is another experience. The lights in the city are so bright that they seem like stars falling on earth, and I can’t help but stare at them with bated breath. When I left, I took the night cable car down the mountain, and the scenery along the way made me feel like I was in a dream. I was deeply impressed by Mt. Moiwa both during the day and at night. The spectacular scenery, diverse activities and convenient transportation make me think this is a place worth revisiting. #Hokkaido #Sapporo Attractions #Check-in Spots

The best part of the city is the night view 🌃 The night view from the observation deck at the top of Mt. Moiwa, reached by ropeway, is registered as one of the three new great night views in Japan. If the weather is uncertain, we recommend checking the view on the live camera at the top of the mountain on the official website before going. We took the ropeway, which runs every 15 minutes, to the top of the mountain. There was a little snow this time, but the view was still amazing. There were a lot of people, probably because it was snow festival season, and we had to wait about 30 minutes to get on the ropeway on the way back. #HokkaidoTrip #Sapporo #NightView

In the city of Sapporo, take the tram to the cable car entrance station and get off at the entrance to the cable car. There is a free shuttle bus to the opposite side of the cable car, and every 15 minutes from the whole point. The cable car ticket is 1700 round trips, including large box rail cars and small boxcars. Originally, it is now famous for the three new night scenes in Japan, but the whole place is full of autumn leaves. There is an observatory on the top of the mountain, and there are lovers locks. It is obvious that this is a newly developed attraction, not very distinctive, and expensive compared to other attractions in Sapporo. To be honest, it is also a short distance from Hokkaido’s one of the most beautiful night scenes with a small curve by the bay.

The night view from here is so beautiful that it has been selected as one of the "New Top Three Night Views in Japan," and the city of Sapporo shines like a studded jewel. From the summit, which is 531 meters above sea level, a 360-degree panorama spreads out, and even the distant lights can be seen clearly, especially in the clear air of winter. It is easily accessible by ropeway or mini cable car, making it a popular spot for both tourists and locals ☝🏻⭐️ #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #DomesticTrip #HokkaidoTrip

Our recent family outing to Mt. Moiwa in Sapporo was nothing short of spectacular! The adventure began as we hopped on the cable car, the excitement palpable as we ascended the mountain. Both the option to hike up and the scenic ride offered unique perspectives of the stunning landscape, but the cable car gave us the chance to soak in the panoramic views effortlessly. Upon reaching the summit, we were greeted with breathtaking vistas of Sapporo city framed by the majestic mountains. The fresh, cool air was invigorating, making each deep breath feel like a refreshment for the soul. This beautiful experience was enhanced by the shared joy of being with family, capturing moments that we would cherish forever. One culinary highlight not to be missed is the delightful pretzel with cheese available at the top. It was the perfect treat, warm and gooey, and an ideal companion as we enjoyed our surroundings. However, a word to the wise: check the weather before your visit. If it's rainy or if you arrive after dark, the views can be obscured by fog, diminishing the experience. We were fortunate to have a clear day, which made all the difference. Overall, we highly recommend a trip to Mt. Moiwa for anyone seeking breathtaking views and quality family time. Whether you choose to hike or take the cable car, the journey itself is as rewarding as the destination. Don’t forget to indulge in that pretzel!

On a chilly winter night, my partner and I stood beneath a glowing, geometric bell tower overlooking a sea of city lights. The moment we held hands and rang the bell together, it felt like time stood still. This spot wasn’t just a photo op—it was a memory-maker, a place where love echoes into the night sky. We found this romantic lookout spot during our winter trip to Hokkaido, and it instantly became one of our favorite memories. The gentle snow, the sparkle of the city below, and the symbolism of the bell created an experience that felt both intimate and grand. It’s one of those moments that reminds you how magical travel—and love—can be. Tips for Fellow Travelers: • Go at night: The city lights create a stunning backdrop. If it’s snowing, even better—it adds a touch of fairytale charm. • Bundle up: It gets cold up there, so dress warm and cozy for comfort and great photos. • Hold the moment: Don’t rush! Take your time ringing the bell together. It’s a symbolic gesture that many couples treasure. • Bring a tripod or ask someone: To get a beautiful shot like ours, having someone to take the photo—or a tripod set up—is a must. • Check if it’s a local tradition: Some bell spots have legends tied to love or good luck.

#Spring0yentrip "Mount Moiwa is the best spot for a spectacular night view in Sapporo! Take the ropeway to the top and you'll be greeted with a glittering view of the whole city. It's popular with couples, but it's also good to enjoy it alone. If you go in winter, you can see a blanket of snow!

Mount Moiwa is 531m above sea level. There is also an observation deck and cafe at the top! This is...more moving than I imagined! The air is clear and the light is clear! From the city tram "Ropeway Entrance" take the free shuttle bus → ropeway to the top!

Mount Moiwa, a check-in spot that makes the term “million-dollar view” look down on! If Sapporo is the heart of Hokkaido, Mount Moiwa is the spot that makes your heart beat ten times faster!

Because the view from the top is amazing from every angle. No matter which way you turn your camera, it’s definitely a new profile picture. Score: 9.5/10 • I deducted a little because it’s so cold.

#February travel support event I went to Seolsan during the day and it was okay even without equipment. However, if I had crampons, it would have been easier to come down. As a Busan person, it's really hard to see snow, but I got my wish here! I really enjoyed the snow ❤️ I was really so happy.

It will get cold after dark. Be sure to keep warm!🧣

| A Winter Wonderland. ❄️ In Sapporo, Hokkaido, time seems to freeze in the snow. Each snowflake is like a note in a winter symphony, weaving a dreamlike world of white. 🏞️ On my first day in Sapporo, I couldn't wait to visit the park. It was like a quiet white wonderland, with only the sound of snow falling. Walking through it, I felt peaceful and relaxed, and I even wanted to lie down in the snow and become one with the white world. ☕ A cozy little café next to the park was like a warm haven in the cold snow. I opened the door, and the warmth drove away the cold. 🍮 The Hokkaido milk pudding was a delightful surprise. I took a spoonful, and the sweet taste spread across my taste buds. The smooth texture was like snowflakes gently brushing my skin. It was a little sweet, but I loved it. 💖 I really love snowy days. The snow in Hokkaido is magical. I hope I can visit this snowy land every winter and continue my romantic story with Sapporo. There are many places you can't miss in Sapporo.

N43 is located in a quiet residential area where the only light is moonlight and snow. The interior is as dim as possible, and there is nothing unnecessary inside, so you can see the winter night view of Sapporo✨🌇 If you sit at the counter, all you can see is the lights of the night view, and it was the bar with the best atmosphere I've ever been to🌃 The food ranges from sweets like chocolate to pasta and pizza. The alcohol menu is also very extensive, with a wide variety of cocktails. It's on a hill, so it may be a little difficult to go in the winter, but it was a wonderful bar that I would recommend seeing the clear winter night view if possible! #Christmas trip #Domestic travel record

We took two cable cars up to Mt. Moiwa and booked lunch at The Jewels at noon. The price was very reasonable and the scenery was great. After lunch, we went out to the snow to take photos and saw the panoramic view of Sapporo from the observation deck. It was well worth going there.
