Mount Moiwa (藻岩山, Moiwa-yama) reaching an altitude of 531 meters, is located in the middle of Sapporo city. The name of the mountain is “inkarushibe” in the Ainu language. The explorer Takeshiro Matsuura in the late-Edo period wrote in his Shiribeshi Diary, “Mt. Moiwa was not only a mountain upon which to command a view of their surroundings, but was also held as a sacred mountain where the gods dwell by the Ainu people.” From the summit visitors can view a spectacular panorama of the streets of Sapporo, Ishikari Bay in the Sea of Japan and Shokanbetsu Peak located in Mashike town . Visitors can use the ropeway or the Mt. Moiwa Sightseeing Road from the foot of the mountain to half way up. Once mid-way, visitors may ride the “Morris Car”, the world’s first drive-type mini cable car to the summit. This mountain is a popular climbing destination for the citizens of Sapporo: the five mountain trails (shortest 2.4km; longest 4.5km) are hike-able in casual clothing and are popular with mountain climbers during the summer weekends.

The Mount Moiwa Ropeway climbs from the base of the mountain three quarters up the mountain to a transfer station. From there a rather unique mini cablecar travels the rest of the way to the upper station at the summit where there is an observation deck and restaurant with nice views out over the city. The station also houses a planetarium and theater. The ropeway and building complex at the summit were reopened in 2012 after extensive renovations.

The Mount Moiwa Ski Resort lies on the mountain’s southeastern slope. This skier-only resort has several runs and is close to Sapporo City; however, it is approached from a different direction than the Mount Moiwa Ropeway.

Sapporo (札幌市 Sapporo-shi) is the fifth largest city of Japan by population, and the largest city on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido. It is the capital city of Hokkaido Prefecture, and is an ordinance-designated city.
