Nishi 8 chōme[edit]
-
There are no roadways between Nishi 8 chōme and Nishi 9 chōme, and these thus two blocks are joined together.

Black Slide Mantra – a twisted slide created by Japanese-American artist, Isamu Noguchi. In the spring of 1988, when the agreement to construct Moerenuma Park between Sapporo City and Noguchi was announced, the creation of this slide was also planned. Black Slide Mantra was exhibited in the Venice Biennale, and is the sister version of the white “Slide Mantra” in Miami, Florida, United States.[4] Placement of the Black Slide Mantra was the main cause of Nishi 8 chōme and Nishi 9 chōme being joined.
