The Sapporo Tourism Association will close Sapporo Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill from April 1.
The closure is for facility renovations. The site has operated without interruption since April 1985, when it began year-round operations, and aging facilities had become an issue. It is scheduled to reopen around summer 2028.
Sapporo Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill is an observation spot in Sapporo, Japan, known for its statue of Dr. William S. Clark, “Clark on the Hill.” More than 32.3 million people have visited since it opened in 1959.
