Itinerary

  • Hill of The Buddha

    30 minsAdmission Ticket Not Included
    *Admission fee: ¥500 per person (payable individually).* Designed by world-renowned architect Tadao Ando, the Hill of the Buddha creates a striking winter scene in which only the head of the Great Buddha quietly emerges from a snow-covered hill. As you pass through the approach tunnel surrounded by snow, the harmony of serene concrete architecture and the crisp winter air creates a solemn and calming atmosphere. Among the four seasons, winter offers a particularly profound sense of tranquility, making this an iconic place to experience the architectural beauty and serene landscapes that define Sapporo in winter.
  • Chitose Shikotsu Lake Hyoto Matsuri

    2 hoursAdmission Ticket Not Included
    *Admission fee: ¥1,000 per person (payable individually). At the Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival, stunning ice sculptures made from the crystal-clear waters of Lake Shikotsu line the venue, offering different impressions during the day and at night. In daylight, you can admire the transparency and natural beauty of the ice illuminated by the sun, while in the evening, the sculptures are transformed into a magical world through colorful illumination. Visitors can also enjoy the crisp winter air and the serene lakeside scenery surrounding the venue. This seasonal event beautifully combines nature and art, created by the harsh winter conditions unique to Hokkaido.
