- What to expect
-
Embark on a private taxi tour of Sapporo to discover its history and culture. Begin at the Sapporo Hitsujigaoka Observation Deck for stunning views of the city and the Ishikari Plain. Take a photo with the statue of Dr. Clark, a renowned educator and the symbol of frontier spirit of Hokkaido. Then, visit the Hill of the Buddha, where a large Buddha hall awaits. Explore a water garden, a tunnel that amplifies the sound of your footsteps, and a roofless hall with a view of the Buddha and the sky. During mid-late July, the surrounding hills turn purple with lavender. Besides, don't miss the 33 Moai statues and a replica of Stonehenge. Lastly, experience the peaceful practice of copying sutras, known as shakyo, for blessings and a calm mind
