[Hokkaido] What? Here is! A huge moai appears!

📍 Sapporo, Hokkaido

Makomanai Takino Cemetery

Here... the concept of a cemetery is broken

As you continue on the snowy road

Suddenly appearing is like

Like Stonehenge in England.

Giant stone circular space 🗿

Going further

Easter Island-class moai statues are lined up...

It's too different world and my brain 😳

And the last thing I'm waiting for

👉 Giant Buddha "Head Great Buddha" (Toll)

The moment you leave the tunnel

Overwhelmed by the silence and scale.

This is seriously goosebumps.

In winter, snow is piled up

Snow on the head of the Buddha ❄️

In summer, the scenery is surrounded by lavender fields 🌿

📌 go to Sapporo, definitely go here

❄️ time to see snow

Snow scene from November to April

Especially in January and February, it's a snowy world.

🌸 Summer

Lavender Hill × Head Buddha

👉: Mid to late July

The combination of green, architecture and art is the strongest

... Read more「札幌のモアイ像ってどこにあるの?」「料金はいくら?」が気になって、私も事前に調べまくってから真駒内滝野霊園へ行きました。結論、ここは“霊園”という言葉のイメージがいい意味で崩れます。神秘的で、まるで海外みたいな穴場スポットでした。 まず到着したら、いきなり写真を撮りたくなるポイントが連続します。特にモアイ像エリアは、想像より像の数が多くて圧巻。近くで見るとサイズ感がすごいので、広角レンズ(スマホなら0.5x)で撮るのがおすすめです。人が写る位置に立つと大きさが伝わりやすく、旅の記録感も出ます。 次に「札幌 大仏(頭大仏)」目的の人へ。頭大仏の拝観は有料で、時期によって料金が変動することがあるので、行く直前に公式情報も確認しておくと安心です。個人的には、トンネルを抜けた瞬間の静けさとスケール感がこのスポットのハイライト。観光地の“賑やかさ”とは違う、背筋が伸びる感じがありました。 「札幌 モアイ像 料金」でよく迷うのが、霊園全体は基本無料で入れる点。気軽に立ち寄れるのがありがたいです。一方で、頭大仏のエリアは拝観時間が決まっているので、午後遅めに行く人は要注意。冬は日没も早いので、私は明るいうちに着くようにスケジュールを組みました。 アクセスは車がいちばんラクでした。雪の季節(11月〜4月頃)は路面状況で時間が読みにくいので、余裕を持って出発するのが正解。防寒は手袋&滑りにくい靴があると安心です。夏はラベンダーの時期が特に人気なので、7月中旬〜下旬の週末は早めの時間帯が快適に回れました。 最後に、行く前の小さなコツ。敷地が広いので、歩きやすい靴は必須。写真目的なら、雪景色(1〜2月の“ガチ雪世界”)か、ラベンダーが咲く時期のどちらかに絞ると満足度が上がります。札幌市内から少し足を伸ばすだけで、モアイ像と頭大仏の非日常を一気に味わえるので、旅行プランに入れて損なしです。
