The Way of Birds - Seated Contemplation
The Way of Birds - Seated Contemplation is a Zen-inspired artwork by the art collective teamLab, known for its exhibitions around the world. It is located inside the Eiheiji - cho Charm & Culture Facilities "Eibou-kan,” which introduces the charms of the town alongside Eiheiji, the head temple of the Soto Zen school with over 700 years of history. The artwork can be viewed free of charge.
The environment here is simple and super clean. It's the kind of place that just makes you want to take a deep breath, clear your mind, and zone out. Whether you're sitting and looking at the scenery or just hanging out, it's really comfortable and peaceful. No distractions at all. The whole vibe is incredibly soothing—perfect if you need to give your brain a break.

Hokkaido Asahikawa Museum of Art
Located within the expansive Tokiwa Park, the Asahikawa Museum of Art stands since its opening in 1982. The museum, a brick structure surrounded by greenery, showcases outdoor sculptures that contrast beautifully with the crystal clear blue sky. The overall landscape appears like a gorgeous painting.
Local culture really brings depth and nourishment to this place, and it helps foster creative energy.

Sapporo Dome
Opened in 2001, it is the largest all-weather dome in Hokkaido. It is well known as the home stadium of "Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo", and in addition to sporting events, large-scale concerts and exhibitions are also held here. Although it has a strong image of sports games and concerts, it is actually a great sightseeing spot with its observatory and other facilities.
It's only about a 10-minute walk to Sapporo Dome, but the souvenir section is so good you'll totally lose track of time while browsing!
