Living in Makomanai

The southern terminus station of the Namboku Line. With a Ground Self-Defense Force base and Makomanai Park, where the opening ceremony of the 1972 Sapporo Olympics was held, greenery is wide, and it is stable enough that Minami Ward is ranked second in the city for public safety. It is clearly cheaper than central Sapporo, so it suits people who want quiet and good value rather than a generous budget.

This is a calm residential area at the southern terminus of the subway Namboku Line. The greenery around Makomanai Park and the Self-Defense Force base is wide and quiet, which is good for family living, and rents are low. It is some distance from the city center and tends to get heavy snow in winter.
