Overview

【Jozankei】 Jozankei is Sapporo's most iconic hot spring resort area, known as "Sapporo's back garden." It boasts distinct seasonal scenery, with cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, vibrant foliage in autumn, and relaxing hot springs in winter. With numerous hot spring hotels and open-air baths, you can fully relax and rejuvenate your mind and body amidst the murmuring streams and stunning mountain views. 【Head of the Buddha (Makomanai Takino Cemetery)】 Designed by world-renowned architect Tadao Ando, the "Head of the Buddha" sits in a serene and awe-inspiring pose amidst a sea of flowers. The Buddha statue is surrounded by a lavender-covered hill, and visitors must pass through a dimly lit tunnel to see the Buddha's head, experiencing a perfect blend of spiritual purification and architectural aesthetics through the interplay of light and shadow. 【Sapporo Jogai Market Shopping Street】 The Sapporo Jogai Market is one of Hokkaido's most vibrant seafood distribution centers, bringing together local delicacies such as fresh crab, sea urchin, salmon roe, and sweet shrimp. You can browse and select souvenirs while also enjoying luxurious seafood rice bowls or freshly sliced sashimi at the market's restaurants, fully experiencing the charm of "Hokkaido's cuisine." 【Hokkaido Shrine】 Hokkaido Shrine, located in Sapporo's Chuo Ward, is one of Hokkaido's most representative shrines. It was built in the early days of Hokkaido's development, with the main gate facing northeast to symbolize protection. The "Kaitaku Shrine" within the grounds enshrines pioneers who contributed to the development of Hokkaido, such as Yoshitake Shima and Rinzo Mamiya, making it a sacred place for praying for peace and success in business. 【Shiroi Koibito Park】 A dreamy wonderland themed around Hokkaido's famous "Shiroi Koibito" chocolate. The park features red-brick European-style buildings and a clock tower that complement each other, staging a "Chocolate Carnival" every hour on the hour. Visitors can tour the production line, create their own personalized cookies, and immerse themselves in a sweet aroma and romantic atmosphere. 【Sapporo Beer Museum】 Japan's only beer-themed museum, showcasing the history and brewing process of Sapporo Beer since its inception.
