Hokkaido (北海道, Hokkaidō, literally "Northern Sea Circuit") (Japanese: [hokkaꜜidoː] ( listen)), formerly known as Ezo, Yezo, Yeso, or Yesso, is the second largest island of Japan, and the largest and northernmost prefecture. The Tsugaru Strait separates Hokkaido from Honshu. The two islands are connected by the undersea railway Seikan Tunnel. The largest city on Hokkaido is its capital, Sapporo, which is also its only ordinance-designated city. About 43 km north of Hokkaido lies Sakhalin Island, Russia, whereas to its east and north-east are the disputed Kuril Islands.

Typical night view enjoyment spot in Sapporo authorized by "the Japanese new three big night view" in October, 2015. To the extent the night view which can look a ropeway and a MORISU car (mini cable car) around 360 deg from a mountain top observatory of the altitude 531m which takes and arrives is also called "northern jewelry box", that it shines, when I'm shining also it's fine for the daytime as well as the night view, a far place as well as Sapporo-shi district can even look Shokanbetsu chain of mountains and Ishikari bay around. It's possible to go up summertime by car in Moiwayama sightseeing motorway (charge) to the Mid station, and it's possible to enjoy about 3.5 kilometers of freeway (A winter season closes.) At the Mid station, Mt. MOIWA, there is a stand where I get a large selection of original products of the mascot character "MORISU", and a takeout section is also next to the planetarium, the casual French restaurant where you can have a meal while enjoying the scenery "THE JEWELS" and the restaurant at the mountain top station, and it's also enriched in the facilities. It's barrier free full equipment in order to have many people enjoy in the facilities again, and a guide announcement in a ropeway MORISU car stop is also doing correspondence of English, Chinese and Korean.
Very nice observatory to appreciate the vast cityscape of Sapporo. Highly recommended to check the weather forecast to find out the sunset times during your trip, and go up around 20 to 30 minutes before sunset, so you can enjoy both the day view and night view on the same trip.

We visited on a sunny day. It's a coastal location, and was very windy. I think there is supposed to be a spectacular view of some coral grass if we had arrived at the right time of the year. Unfortunately, we were not there at the right season. The lighthouse is apparently famous for having appeared in several movies and commercials. It is quite captivating against the blue skies. Made for some nice photos.

What a gorgeous place to see the ocean views! Rebun Island is a must-see and Cape Sukoton should be top of your list of places to visit here.

It is 60 seconds by elevator from the third floor to the observation deck, 90.38 metres above ground. The entirety of Sapporo city unfolds beneath your eyes, set to a background of the magnificent Ishikari countryside, the far afield Japan Sea, and Odori Park, where flowers bloom in the four seasons. Command a panoramic view of the YOSAKOI Soran Festival, Sapporo Snow Festival, and White Illumination.
Sapporo TV Tower is accessible by underpass to avoid the cold. Huge and beautiful structure, contrasts with the snowy white surroundings in the day time! Great for photo takings from the outside and inside. Some souvenir shops and a small cafe that sells hot drinks and icecream at the ground floor. We had corn soup and soft icecream at the cafe. The entrance fee is 720 yen per person. You can either take the lift or walk up to the upper floor to purchase the entrance ticket then take another lift to reach the observatory floor which has 360 degree of beautiful views including Odori park. There is a tiny souvenir shop and vending machines for coffee and drinks. There is also a selfie booth that we had some fun taking selfies. Overall it was a fun trip enjoying beautiful sceneries from the top. There is a park next to the tower which you can explore too. Nijo market and Tanukikoji are also within walking distance from the tower.
