Hokkaido Head Buddha 🗿 Sapporo Super Small Attractions

On the first day of the New Year, I took a photo of Tadao Ando’s Head Buddha. The huge stone statue is even more solemn in the white snow. Like 👍 this note, Buddha will bless you 2024 everything goes well and dreams come true                  —— 📍Location: Inside the Masane Takino Mausoleum, Sapporo 🚌Transportation: First take the North-South Line Subway to the terminal Mamanai, after exiting the station directly on bus 106 to Takino-dori (Takino-dori), get off at the mausoleum gate. You can use suica on the bus, which is very convenient. The whole journey takes about 1 hour. ⚠️Note: Buses basically run every hour, be sure to check the time in advance on GoogleMap. 🎫 Tickets: The entire mausoleum is open and free. 🕐Time: It says online that it closes at 4:00, which actually closes at 6:00 in winter. The hall where the head Buddha is located says 3:00 close, but after 3:00 you can enter and exit at will. 🗿 Attractions: In addition to the Big Buddha, there are also one-to-one Easter Island statues, Stonehenge and other replicas of world famous places. So magical and good for photography. The mausoleum is actually very big, and there is plenty of time to explore slowly.                  —— Overall experience: This is definitely an underrated attraction in Hokkaido, the head Buddha is a commemorative work for the 30th anniversary of the park's opening, Tadao Ando's architectural vocabulary is "Zen", before I read on the Internet, I did not think it is Sapporo, also considered to be related to Buddha. And it’s more atmospheric in heavy snow. Cr: Rex Rex
