Yurigahara Park in Sapporo

There are many big parks in Sapporo which is famous worldwide, such as Maruyama Park, Nakajima Park, and of course, Odori Park. But none of them has a cute little train in which you can circle the park to see some beautiful flowers. Yurigahara Park has this small train called “Lily Express” in which you can enjoy in the spring. Not only that, this park has more flowers and plant variants in it. However, you need to walk around 25 minutes from the nearest subway station to reach the park, so maybe that is why this park is not that famous among foreign visitors. My wife and I drove there on Sunday afternoon during one of her driving practice.
