In the close vicinity lies Odori Park, Sapporo's green belt, running for 1,500m east-west through central Sapporo. In the park stands the clock tower, which has kept accurate time for over a hundred years since the Meiji Era, and the Former Hokkaido Government Office Building built in an American neo-Baroque style and fondly known as the red brick (aka-renga) are reminders of Hokkaido's colonial history. Mt Moiwa is also very close to the hotel and can easily be accessed by tram. It is one of the best-known places for a night view of Sapporo. Enjoy the ropeway ride to the lookout. In February, the Sapporo Snow Festival is held amidst the sparkling snow. Snow sculptures from the huge to the tiny can be seen throughout the festival area. Forget the cold in the human warmth that envelops this joyful event. The Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art is just across Odori Park. It displays mainly works by artists connected with Hokkaido. For entertainment, enjoy the Susukino area with its neon-flashing bright-lights and thousands of restaurants and bars crowded together and packed with people until dawn.
