Established in 1982, Makomanai Takino Cemetery is located in Sapporo, Japan. It differs from the traditional cemeteries with its different monuments. There are replicas of Stonehenge and Easter Island’s Moai Heads. There is a great Buddha statue located at the Hill of Buddha as well. The Hill of the Buddha is the work of the famed modernist architect Tadao Ando.

Stonehenge

The Stonehenge replica in the Makomanai Takino Cemetery is often hailed as the most complete copy of the original Stonehenge in England. It represents a Japanese tradition called Eitaikyo, a tradition of taking care of the graves to honor the dead and remind our connections to them.
