Sheep Shearing and Clark Statue in Hitsujigaoka Sapporo (Spring)

Snow finally melt and the weather were getting nice, and my sister-in-law had three free tickets to Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill, so we decided to drive there (as well as chance for my sister-in-law and my wife to practice driving).

Not only you can enjoy great view of Sapporo City, but also you can watch sheep-shearing activities there! If you need help arranging private tour in Sapporo, you can use our trip planner!

Sapporo Clark Statue in Spring

It was my second time visiting when there was no snow, despite going to the same place, it felt different from my last visit in winter! Some things that are different are: better view of Sapporo City and sheep. Oh and there are more foods being sold since there were more food vendors outside.

more sheeps, I think I almost fell asleep

You can see the city better with the telescope.

Took me a while to take this pic when nobody was around
