Kokuei Takino Suzuran Hillside National Park, Sapporo

Great on the weekends! Food, entertainment and nature. What more can you ask for? One tip is to park in the EAST parking lot to avoid climbing the hill to the restaurants and cafes. The Central parking lot is nice, but a bit far removed from most of the action.

Went here last month on their Halloween event and it was so nice for the kids. The autumn foilage were lovely, specially kochia plants. The restaurant here had good food too, although the place's heater could've been warmer hehehe. The park has lots of fun and creative activities for kids and the kids at heart, although because of the pandemic they are closed for the time being. There's a huge parking space before going into the inner park area, for cars 600cc and below(普通自動車) the parking fee(rather entrance fee to the parking area will cost ￥420) and another ￥450 when you go inside the park. The entrance fees to the park are discounted for people with disabilities, senior citizens(certain passes/IDs might be required) and if you are going in groups. Please do check their website for more timely information :)
