The Sapporo Flower Carpet is an annual event which started in 2014 to commemorate the opening of Sapporo Kita 3-jo Plaza. Local volunteers work together to create incredible displays using flower petals and other natural materials, and the theme for the nature-based artworks changes every year.
For 2023, the theme for the main display is "Towards the future," and the flower carpet is set to depict Hokkaido-based bird and animal life. Whether you're a flower enthusiast or just appreciate the dedication and teamwork that comes with volunteer-led artistic displays, the Sapporo Flower Carpet is definitely worth a visit.
Getting there
Sapporo Kita 3-jo Plaza is located around five minutes on foot from Sapporo Station. The station is served by various lines, including the Hakodate Main Line, the Chitose Line, and the Sassho Line.
For those who opt to drive, there are several paid parking lots in the surrounding area – one option is at the Sapporo Factory complex.
