Takino Suzuran Hillside National Park

While being in a great location of only 40 minutes by car from the center of Sapporo, the very large site in an area of rich nature feels perfectly spacious.
This spot is highly recommended for those who want to be refreshed in a place away from the bustle of big cities!
