The Moai Statues and Grand Buddha at Sapporo's 'Hill of the Buddha'

I visited the Hill of the Buddha, designed by the famous architect Tadao Ando, located near Sapporo. Starting from the massive Moai statues at the entrance to the grand Buddha statue within the hill, it was a delightful course to explore, especially in September when the weather was perfect for a stroll. The serene atmosphere of the space allowed me to pray for my family's health and enjoy the surrounding scenery, making it a truly healing experience at this sacred site. It's a half-day trip that can be conveniently accessed from Sapporo city center using the subway and bus. Highly recommended regardless of your religious beliefs! 😄

Note: There is an admission fee (refer to the photos). If you're visiting Sapporo, this is a must-see spot, especially on a clear day. Don't hesitate to check it out!
