As we've mentioned, Nopporo Forest Park is only a few minutes walk away from the Sapporo Coleman's. It was designated as a State Natural Park in 1968 to commemorate Hokkaido’s centennial. The tower is the Centennial Memorial Tower. Most of the area, 5,068 acres, is designated as a wildlife sanctuary. We wanted you to see the dense foliage through which Ruben and Phil jogged.
This is one of the few forests in Japan that’s in a major city. There are more than 510 plant species, including 110 tree species, as well as more than 200 species of mushrooms, 140 species of birds and 1,300 species of insects. Yezo squirrels, Japanese hares, Yezo brown frogs, Hokkaido salamanders and other animals inhabit the park.
We're really lucky that Buzz and Yukari and Ren live so close to it.
