Fureai Plaza Atsubetsu | Getting There from Shin-Sapporo Station

Fureai Plaza Atsubetsu (Fureai Hiroba Atsubetsu) is an outdoor public square in Sapporo’s Atsubetsu Ward. It is used for community gatherings and seasonal events near the Shin-Sapporo transport hub.

Where is it?

The plaza is in Atsubetsu Chuo 1-jo 5-chome, Atsubetsu Ward, Sapporo. Search for ふれあい広場あつべつ in a map application to locate the venue and select a suitable entrance.

Getting there by train or subway

Two stations serve the wider neighborhood:

• JR Shin-Sapporo Station on the Chitose Line.
• Shin-Sapporo subway station at the eastern end of the Tozai Line.

From central Sapporo, take the Tozai subway line toward Shin-Sapporo or a suitable JR service toward Shin-Sapporo. Follow local station signs and check a map for the final walking route, as exits and access may change.

• Check the organizer’s event date, opening hours and cancellation notices.
• Dress for the weather; evenings can be cold in autumn.
• Confirm whether food, pets or other items are allowed.
• Do not assume that event parking is provided.
• If visiting with children, identify toilets and rest areas in advance.
