[Hokkaido] Is this really Japan? A spot with a view that looks like it's from overseas🗿🌏

Introducing Hokkaido's must-visit spots that feel like they're from overseas✍🏻 (All photos are from May 2023) ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ This is Makomanai Takino Cemetery in Sapporo, Hokkaido It's actually a very large cemetery, but the general public is also allowed to enter◎ (Please be considerate when viewing) It's a cemetery, so of course there are graves, but I was surprised to see a large Buddha, Moai statues, and even Stonehenge on the premises...! ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ ▼ ᴀʀᴇᴀ ɪɴғᴏʀᴍᴀᴛɪᴏɴ 🪽　 "Head Buddha Hall" Here you'll find a huge Buddha statue that's 13.5 meters tall 😳 It looks to be about the same size as the Great Buddha of Kamakura. Designed by the famous architect Tadao Ando, ​​only the heads are visible from the outside 🌿 From around June, the whole area around the heads will turn lavender 🪻 - "Moai Statues" Lots of Moai statues 🗿🗿 When I came here last year, all the Moai were wearing big masks, but they had been removed safely, and I was happy ☺️ - "Stonehenge" Here you can find a place that looks just like Stonehenge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the UK. Stonehenge stands alone in the middle of a large cemetery. It makes me want to go to the real thing 🫶🏻　 ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 　✍🏻 ɪɴғᴏʀᴍᴀᴛɪᴏɴ (as of November 2023) 　Makomanai Takino Cemetery　📍Address｜Takino, Minami-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido　🕰Opening hours｜(Head Buddha) 9:00-16:00　🎫Entry fee｜Free　※During lavender season　　　　　　　　 Head Buddha Hall ¥500　🚐Parking｜Available ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 　#Domestic travel #Hokkaido tourism #Photogenic spots #Hokkaido trip #Winter trip #japan #besttrip2023
