Top 10 Monuments & Statues in Sapporo, Hokkaido
Probably best known for its eponymous beer, Sapporo—the capital of Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island—has maintained the youthful and open atmosphere of the 1972 Olympic Winter Games, drawing international visitors for its annual Snow Festival and its world-famous ramen. Those seeking out the full diversity of Japanese cuisine will want to visit: a city with a ramen-inspired theme park is one that embraces and pampers foodies.

Hokkaido was the last major Japanese island to be settled. The Memorial Tower commemorates the founding of civilisation in Hokkaido. The tower was erected in 1970. It is exactly 100 metres (330 feet) tall. It is quite strange; it is in the Napporo Forest Park, which is unusual in itself, considering Japan is so land-short.

It's a rare event for a foreigner to be honoured by a statue in Sapporo. Thus, while it is not unheard of, the people of Japan have honoured Leonard Bernstein with a statue in Nkajima Park. The statue is near Concert Hall Kitara. The reason Bernstein was commemorated was for his contribution to music education in Asia. It is a very good statue; it stands in its own square..
10. Nitobe Inazo Statue
