— Attraction Introduction —
- Designed by world-renowned architect Tadao Ando, the Giant Buddha took three years to complete. The 13.5-meter-tall Buddha is nestled within a conical hill, with only its head visible, symbolizing the cycle of life and the awakening of Zen. With lavender blooming in summer, maple leaves turning red in autumn, and snow covering the ground in winter, the Buddha presents distinctly different serene and mysterious beauties in each season, making it an artistic landmark where nature and architecture blend perfectly.
- Jozankei Onsen, nestled in a valley outside Sapporo, is known as "Sapporo's backyard" and is one of Hokkaido's most representative hot spring resorts. It's suitable for all seasons, but especially in winter, the snow-covered hot spring town transforms into a fairytale world. Visitors can enjoy the unique experience of the warm steam and cool breeze in the open-air hot springs, completely relaxing their mind and body. Nearby attractions include hiking, snow viewing, and staying at traditional Japanese inns, allowing visitors to experience authentic hot spring culture and the tranquil scenery of Hokkaido.
- Otaru Canal, a landmark in Otaru, gained fame thanks to the movie "Love Letter." The canal is lined with vintage brick warehouses and kerosene streetlights, whose reflections at night create a romantic atmosphere. Beautiful in all seasons, especially in winter when the snow and lights create a stunning contrast, it's a must-visit for photographers and couples to experience Otaru's unique artistic charm.
- Shiroi Koibito Park is a famous tourist attraction in Sapporo, named after the popular souvenir "Shiroi Koibito" (White Lover). Visitors can tour the entire cookie-making process and even create their own personalized dessert. The park features a blend of European-style architecture and garden landscaping, creating a fairytale atmosphere. It also houses a toy museum and a limited-edition dessert restaurant, making it a perfect place for families, couples, and dessert lovers to spend quality time together.
The Giant Buddha, designed by Tadao Ando, is famous as the "Buddha in the Hill." The 13.5-meter-tall statue, with only the head visible, symbolizes the cycle of life and Zen. The scenery changes with the seasons: lavender fields in summer, red leaves in autumn, and snow in winter, blending nature and architectural aesthetics.
