Mount Moiwa
 
basic information

Mount Moiwa is one of several forested, small mountains surrounding the city of Sapporo. There is an observation platform and restaurant on its summit with spectacular day and night time views of the city.

Note that the restaurant on top of Mount Moiwa is not a place for fine dining as suggested by the restaurant's pamphlet. Rather, it is a kind of tourist cafeteria, where meals have to be ordered at vending machines.

Any advice or questions? Voice them in the forum!

how to get there

By public transport

From Susukino, take Sapporo's only streetcar line to "Ropeway Iriguchi" station, about 20 minutes from Susukino. From there, the lower station of the Mount Moiwa Ropeway can be reached in a 5 minute walk. The ropeway ride is followed by a short ride on a chair lift to the summit. A round trip costs 1200 Yen.

The ropeway's operation hours are 10:00 to 21:00 from mid April to mid November and during the snow festival (to 22:00 in July and August) and 10:00 to 19:00 during the rest of the year, except the first half of April and several weeks in November and December, when the ropeway does not operate.

By car

The "Kanko Highway" is a toll road leading up the mountain. It is open from mid April to the end of November between 9:00 and 22:00. The cost for a passenger car is 660 Yen.
