SPOT
Sankakuyama (Mt. Sankaku)
Recommended for casual mountaineering in Sapporo. 311.0m above sea level. A superb spot with a first-class triangulation point at the top.
Mt. 311.0 m above sea level, Sankaku offers a panoramic view of Sapporo city from the top and is recommended for beginners as the trail is well maintained. On weekends and holidays, visitors range from young children escorted by elderly people to young trail runners, all of whom come to enjoy nature. Signs and benches are placed at each junction, allowing visitors to choose their route according to the gradient and distance. It takes less than one hour to reach the top even if you climb slowly, so it is easy to go out whenever you feel like it on a fine day or in between trips. There are three trailheads for Mt. Triangle: Yamanote, Kobetsuzawa, and Miyanomori, but the most accessible is the Yamanote entrance, which has a parking lot and restrooms. There are no vending machines, so be sure to bring your own drinks.
