Isamu Noguchi is a genius artist who received numerous awards for his work such as the American National Medal of Arts, and is known for work such as the garden of the UNESCO headquarters. It is this same man who conceived the basic design of Sapporo’s citizens’ oasis, Moerenuma Park. One can enjoy this park all day long which covers about 188 hectares and includes mountains, water, sports facilities, galleries, restaurants and so on. Numerous children’s playground equipment full of playful spirit in the honor of Noguchi can be found throughout the park, so parents and children alike can enjoy their time here.

Mt. Moere

The largest construction within the park is Mt. Moere. This is the only mountain in eastern Sapporo which acts as not only a landmark of the park, but of the entire surrounding area as well. Climbing to the top offers great views of the surrounding area from a viewing platform, and in winter, when snow piles up, Mt. Moere is used for sledding and other winter activities.

Sea Fountain

Sea Fountain is located in the center of the park. In his lifetime, Noguchi was well known for his work and expertise on water art, which is revealed in the program of the Sea Fountain that beautifully communicates both the fury and stillness of the sea. The program of the Sea Fountain lasts for all of 40 minutes. At night, one can view illuminations which react with the splashing of the fountain creating a beautiful work of art.
