Sapporo Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill is a breathtaking scenic spot where visitors can enjoy a grand, pastoral panorama typical of Hokkaido, right within the major city of Sapporo. The sight of sheep peacefully grazing on the vast green pastures gently relaxes travelers with the warmth of rich nature. Standing on the hill is the bronze statue of Dr. William S. Clark, the father of Hokkaido's development, famous for his quote, "Boys, be ambitious!" The spot is always bustling with tourists taking commemorative photos in his iconic pose. With a rest house where you can savor the local specialty, Jingisukan (grilled mutton), and the Sapporo Snow Festival Museum on-site, it is a classic landmark where you can experience Hokkaido's history, food, and majestic wilderness all at once.
