With ski slopes, parks, beer gardens and festivals, this sprawling city on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido has something to offer year-round.

One of Isamu Noguchi’s last projects is an expansive public space that is more a immersive work of art than a traditional park.

The most iconic view of Sapporo is from the observation deck of this 480-foot (150-meter) tower, which looks out over Odori Park.
