Exploring Sapporo from Your Doorstep LOVELY’s location in Shiroishi-Ku offers a glimpse into everyday Japanese life while keeping major attractions within easy reach.

• Historical Village of Hokkaido (Kaitaku-no Mura): A short drive or taxi ride away, this exceptional open-air museum is a journey back in time. Over 60 historical buildings from the Meiji and Taisho eras have been meticulously relocated and restored here. Strolling through the village—complete with former government offices, farms, railways, and merchant homes—vividly illustrates the pioneering spirit of Hokkaido’s early settlers.

• Moerenuma Park: Designed by world-renowned artist and architect Isamu Noguchi, this park is a masterpiece of landscape art. Conceived as a "total art" project, it features stunning geometric shapes, massive play sculptures like the iconic Glass Pyramid "Hidamari," and vast grassy fields. It’s a perfect spot for cycling, picnicking, or simply appreciating the seamless blend of nature and avant-garde design.

• Sapporo Beer Museum & Garden: No visit to Sapporo is complete without delving into its brewing heritage. As Japan’s oldest beer museum, located in the original Sapporo Brewery buildings, it offers insightful tours on the history of beer in Japan. The adjacent Star Hall in the Sapporo Beer Garden is the perfect place to conclude your tour by indulging in the legendary *Genghis Khan* (Jingisukan) barbecue—grilled mutton and vegetables—paired with a freshly brewed draft beer.

For travelers seeking space, practicality, and a peaceful residential vibe without sacrificing access to Sapporo’s highlights, LOVELY provides a wonderfully balanced and comfortable urban sanctuary.
