The 10 Best Sacred & Religious Sites in Sapporo, Hokkaido

May 20, 2021 Sheron Bogner

Probably best known for its eponymous beer, Sapporo—the capital of Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island—has maintained the youthful and open atmosphere of the 1972 Olympic Winter Games, drawing international visitors for its annual Snow Festival and its world-famous ramen. Those seeking out the full diversity of Japanese cuisine will want to visit: a city with a ramen-inspired theme park is one that embraces and pampers foodies.

Nihon Sapporo Temple

Reviewed By fongie808 - Honolulu, United States

Wow what a Scenic, Peaceful, Serene grounds, and area surrounding this Temple in Sapporo Japan. The temple is not open to the public, but the visit and walk around the grounds is lovely and pictures can be taken of the manicured gardens. Worth the 30 min drive from Sapporo especially if your interest is in Temples and architecture.

Hill of The Buddha

Reviewed By Matanjapan - Jerusalem, Israel

This place is just amazing - Planned by world famous architect tadao Ando, it features a big vareity of sculputures from many cuktures. It's free of charge (although you might get asked to pay "donation money" for the place - like I was). It offers a small cafe, and a big parking lot. Absolutely must visit.

Hokkaido Jingu

Reviewed By Ssummerbreeze

and absolutely loved it! I also enjoyed that there were very few people and the walk to the shinsa was through a nice park with tons of trees. Easy walking distance from the subway station as well.
