[2024 Sapporo Attraction] Travel Guide for Makomanai Takino Cemetery (Updated Nov)

Autumn Bliss at Makomanai Takino Cemetery 🍁

#autumnbeauty I visited Makomanai Takino Cemetery in mid-October, and the vibrant autumn colors were absolutely stunning! 🍂 Tips: 🍁Mid to late October is the best time to catch the peak autumn colors. 🧣Layer up! The cold winds can make it chilly, so having extra layers will keep you comfortable. 🥾Wear comfy shoes for walking, as the grounds are large and there’s a lot to explore. 🫖If possible, visit in the morning to enjoy the quieter, more peaceful atmosphere. 🚌 How to get there: From Sapporo Station, take the Nanboku Line to Makomanai Station, then transfer to a bus that will take you directly to the cemetery (bus lines are well-marked and frequent). #100waysoftravel #sapporo #japan #traveljapan

A Giant Buddha Is Spotted in Hokkaido

Located in the largest cemetery in Hokkaido, the Makomanai Takino Cemetery, The giant Buddha statue The Great Buddha Head was designed by the top Japanese architect Tadao Ando. Originally, there was only a large Buddha head here. The owner of the cemetery invited Tadao Ando to redesign it so that only the head of the Buddha could be seen from the outside. By walking along the water garden in front of the cave, you can see the entire Great Buddha, creating a sense of ritual worship. In addition to the Great Buddha Head, there is a row of Moai stone statues on the left side of the hill inside the park. Also, you'll find a cafe near the cemetery. It curates a limited edition art book with Tadao Ando's personal signature. 📍2 Takino, Minami Ward, Sapporo, Hokkaido 🚉 Take the subway Nanboku Line to Makomanai Station, then go to Bus Stop No. 2 and transfer to Bus No. 106 to Takino Makomanai Cemetery.

#Makomanai Takino Cemetery.

The unexpected is to be expected", I always say. But I sure wasn't expecting to see a row of towering moai off in the distance in the backroads of Sapporo's countryside that winter's day. What a mysterious sight. I didn't see any signs. Later I discovered it was Makomanai Takino Cemetery. Back to “the unexpected”, Stonehenge, a Great Buddha, and other iconic monuments decorate the grounds. Great Buddha, Stonehenge, moai, oh, my!
