You can play boating on the Shobu(Iris) Pond(菖蒲池). This is the urban oasis. In Japan, Sapporo is the unique city that has many parks in the central city area. Unfortunately, Houheikan has been closed until 2016 due to restoration. If you stay near the park, it is a good idea to walk in the morning.
