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.

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!

Nishina Three Lakes
The Nishina Three Lakes consists of Lake Aoki, Lake Nakatsuna, and Lake Kizaki. Lake Aoki, the largest of the three, offers a range of seasonal views, including Oyamazakura in spring and fireflies in early summer. Particularly recommended is autumn, when you can enjoy the stunning view of the lake, autumn leaves, and the three mountains of Hakuba overlapping.
You can still find traces of the old Chikoku Road all around here.
