Hill of the Buddha
頭大仏殿 (真駒内滝野霊園)
4.5Est. 60Sapporo, Hokkaido
The intended experience is the architectural reveal: a long, dark tunnel opens into a rotunda framing the 13.5-meter Buddha. While the hill’s 150,000 lavenders are a summer draw, the sequence itself is the year-round constant. Plan for the short hours, as the site closes at 3 PM.
Local tips
Purify your hands at the temizuya before approaching the main hall. Left hand first, then right, then pour water into your left hand to rinse your mouth.
