— Attraction Introduction —

• Hill of the Buddha
  
  Designed by world-renowned architect Tadao Ando, this project took three years
  to complete. The 13.5-meter-tall Buddha statue is nestled within a conical
  hill, with only the head visible, symbolizing the cycle of life and the
  awakening of Zen. Whether it is the lavender fields in summer, the vibrant
  autumn foliage, or the pristine snow in winter, the site offers a distinct
  sense of tranquility and mystery in every season, serving as an artistic
  landmark where nature and architecture perfectly merge.

  
  

• Jozankei Onsen
  
  Located in a valley on the outskirts of Sapporo, this area is known as
  'Sapporo's backyard' and is one of Hokkaido's most iconic hot spring resorts.
  It is a year-round destination, especially in winter when the snow-covered hot
  spring town resembles a fairy-tale world. Travelers can enjoy the unique
  experience of soaking in an open-air bath while feeling the contrast between
  the steam and the cold air, allowing for complete relaxation. The surrounding
  area also offers opportunities for hiking, snow viewing, and staying in
  traditional ryokans, providing an authentic hot spring culture experience
  amidst the quiet beauty of Hokkaido.

  
  

• Otaru Canal
  
  A landmark attraction in Otaru, made famous by the movie 'Love Letter'. The
  canal is lined with retro stone warehouses and gas lamps; at night, the
  reflections of the lights on the water create a deeply romantic atmosphere.
  Beautiful in all seasons, the canal is a must-visit for photography
  enthusiasts and couples, especially in winter when the snow and lights
  complement each other, allowing visitors to soak in Otaru's unique artistic
  charm.

  
  

• Shiroi Koibito Park
  
  A famous sightseeing spot in Sapporo, named after the popular 'Shiroi Koibito'
  souvenir cookies. Visitors can not only observe the entire cookie-making
  process but also try their hand at making their own sweets. The park features
  European-style architecture and garden landscapes, creating a fairy-tale
  atmosphere. With a toy museum and a specialty dessert restaurant, it is a
  perfect place for families, couples, and dessert lovers to spend a
  heartwarming time.
