Nestled in the scenic hills on the outskirts of Sapporo, Makomanai Takino Cemetery seamlessly blends tranquil memorial grounds with astonishing global landmarks. Visitors are greeted by an imposing procession of dozens of towering moai statues alongside a full-scale replica of Stonehenge. The crown jewel is the Hill of the Buddha, designed by world-renowned architect Tadao Ando, where a monumental seated Buddha peers serenely over a seasonal carpet of lavender. It stands as one of Hokkaido's most unique cultural and architectural destinations, offering a reflective and visually stunning escape.
