Jozankei Futami Park — Attraction in Sapporo

Visited the park in Autumn Times and it was super beautiful with the red leaves (紅葉) all over the mountains. You can take tons of good pictures even just with your iPhone.

There is a public restroom located near the entrance.

Sunset is pretty nice for you photogs that want to capture some landscape shots...
