Lovely park in the middle of bustling Sapporo. Although there were quite many people, it never felt crowded when we were there, and the atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. There are many picture opportunities. Autumn is the perfect time to sit down, let the sun shine, and enjoy the cool breeze. Highly recommended.

Beautiful park with flowers and autumn foliage. The corn truck had delicious corn on the cob that was worth the queue! Wish I had more of it! The parallel street had a tranquil small park that tourists overlook and locals go there to paint. The park is beautiful both in the day and at night.

It’s not very wide but it is long, stretching several blocks from one end to another, with the Sapporo TV tower as its distinct landmark. This open space in the middle of the city is a welcome relief. It is a great place to escape from the traffic and noise of modern city. Plenty of space for people to move about. Visited the place during summer and there are plenty of greenery around and the flowers are in full bloom, making the place so colorful. There are a couple of small stalls scattered around selling ice cream and drinks which is great as you can purchase one and sit on the many benches and watch the world passes by. Look the place.

When we visited in December they had a lively Christmas market and lights. From here you can get a good view of the Sapporo TV Tower which is lit up at day and night. Visiting in December was extra special because they had a light festival in the park. There was a lot of food and decoration vendors but we felt it was a little pricey when we visited and some of the lines were too long for us. We visited during the day but really enjoyed our stroll through the park at night. We had a very good crab dinner nearby and enjoyed a nice walk in the park after. We popped into a convenience store nearby to get a couple of teas as well. There were quite a few slippery areas with the ice so be mindful if you visit in the winter and watch your footing. The closest metro is Odori Station and there is a whole underground network of passageways to get to the surface and where you need to go. We spent about an hour here but passed through the park area quite a few times during our visit to Sapporo.

This park-avenue is perhaps the most famous place in Sapporo, thanks to the Yuko matsuri (snow festival) held there in February, and its mighty ice sculptures. But even in summer it's very attractive, for the green lawns and trees, and the quiet and relaxed atmosphere of the place and its visitors. In addition, we enjoyed – in a late afternoon – the vibrant atmosphere of the “Summer Festival”, which, located in a part of the park, includes beer drinking and eating under large pavilions in the center of the avenue.
