Overview
Isamu Noguchi conceived this 189-hectare park as a single sculpture, transforming a landfill into the Hidamari glass pyramid, the 62m man-made Mt. Moere and a sea fountain that erupts through summer. Geometry meets season at every angle; the summit view sweeps the city and Ishikari plain, winter buries it in white for cross-country skiing and sledding, and spring brings a cherry forest. Worth the trip in any season.
Opening Hours
7:00-22:00 (entry until 21:00; open year round)
🚇 Getting there
Bus from Kanjo-dori-higashi Station (Toho Line) to the park's east gate then 10 minutes on foot, or 30 minutes by car.
⏱️ How long to visit
About 2-3 hours.
🌅 Best time to visit
Summer fountains and winter snowfields are the twin peaks; catch sunset from Mt. Moere's summit.
Travel Tips
Rent a bike in summer — it's big. Rest at the pyramid's gallery café, and check seasonal fountain showtimes.
