An extraordinary site from above or below, The Hill of the Buddha is a must when visiting Sapporo. Designed by world-renowned architect Tadao Ando, it is impressive both from within the hill and from above where fields of lavender surround the statue’s head. The Buddha statue towers 13.5m and weighs 1,500 tonnes! You’ll walk away with a sense of calm and tranquility.
TOP TIP: Lavender season in Sapporo is early to late July.
