• Hill of The Buddha - [Admission not included] The Hill of the Buddha is a breathtaking architectural masterpiece crafted by the esteemed architect Tadao Ando. The journey to the statue is a profound experience: after traversing a tranquil water garden and walking through a softly lit, curved concrete tunnel, visitors emerge into a stunning circular open-air space where the 13.5-meter-tall Buddha sits, illuminated by natural sunlight. Encircled by vibrant purple lavender in summer or pristine white snow in winter, it is a deeply moving and photogenic destination.
• Moai Statue - Situated at the entrance of the Makomanai Takino Cemetery—the same grounds as the Hill of the Buddha—is an unexpected and visually striking sight: an impressive lineup of 33 giant Moai statues. They offer a completely different vibe depending on the season, standing boldly against bright green grass in the summer, and charmingly wearing “hats” of thick, pure white snow during the winter months.
• Hokkaido Jingu - Nestled within a vast, serene forest of ancient cedar and elm trees in Maruyama Park, the shrine offers a profound sense of peace and a striking contrast to the bustling city of Sapporo just outside its gates. Offering a deep dive into authentic Japanese culture and history, Hokkaido Shrine is the undeniable crown jewel and the most elegant highlight of this tour.
• Maruyama Park - It is Sapporo’s most beloved spot for cherry blossom viewing in the spring, boasting over 1,500 cherry and plum trees. The park transforms beautifully throughout the year, offering vibrant autumn foliage and a serene, snow-covered wonderland in the winter.
• Shiroi Koibito Park - A fairytale-like theme park dedicated to Hokkaido’s famous white chocolate cookies. It is the perfect place to capture sweet memories and photos.
• Former Japanese National Railways, Temiya line - [Optional] A vintage, abandoned railway line perfect for photography. You can opt to join your guide here right as free time begins for a dedicated photo session.
• Otaru Sakaimachi Street - [Optional] Once the bustling center of Hokkaido’s trade in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Sakaimachi Street has been beautifully preserved and transformed into Otaru’s most romantic walking path. It is also a true paradise for dessert lovers, home to the flagship stores of Hokkaido’s top confectionery brands like LeTAO, Kitakaro, and Rokkatei. Enjoying world-class sweets while browsing unique souvenirs makes this historic street the absolute highlight of any Otaru visit.
• Otaru Canal - [Optional] A picturesque and iconic canal offering scenic views of historic stone warehouses that look beautiful during the day or illuminated at dusk.
• Otaru Sushi Restaurant Street - [Optional] As a historic port city, Otaru is nationally renowned for having some of the freshest and most delicious sushi in Japan, famously inspiring the popular manga Shota no Sushi.
