Maruyama Park

Maruyama Park is located in Maruyama, which is 226 meters above sea level. It is large in scale. There are Maruyama virgin forests designated as natural monuments, as well as sports facilities such as Maruyama Baseball Stadium and Maruyama Stadium. It is a place for Sapporo citizens to relax and entertain. . In the primeval forest, the trees are lush, there are many trees such as water sycamore, Japanese incense tree, hackberry, color wood maple, as well as thousands of Ezo mountain cherry trees. In spring, tourists are everywhere to enjoy the flowers. There is a Hokkaido Shrine on the mountainside, where you can see towering trees such as elms and cypresses that are over 100 years old, and wild birds such as black woodpeckers gather, making it a good place to observe birds. At the Hokkaido Shrine Festival in June, there is an endless stream of visitors. There is also a Maruyama Zoo in the park, including a tropical bird hall and an insect hall, which raises about 200 species of animals. In winter, the zoo is covered with snow and white, and giraffes and lions walk slowly in the snow, which can be said to be a strange landscape that cannot be enjoyed in other zoos.
