Higashi Ward

Among the wards of Sapporo in Hokkaido Prefecture, Higashi Ward stands out for its broad, low-lying urban fabric on the Ishikari Plain. The Fushiko River passes through a district shaped by residential neighbourhoods, local commerce and links to central Sapporo. In the ward’s northeast, Moerenuma Park is a major cultural landscape: Japanese-American artist Isamu Noguchi devised its overall design, transforming a former waste-disposal site into an integrated park of sculpture, lawns and water. Its Glass Pyramid, called Hidamari, is a conspicuous architectural focal point. Continue to other webcams across Hokkaido to compare urban settings and seasonal landscapes around Sapporo.
