佛願寺 / Butsugan-ji Temple

佛願寺（位於札幌市南區）以有巨大的涅槃大佛而著名。將佛教世界觀的形式呈現於庭院中。（表現出存在於現世的地上世界以及極樂淨土的世界等二個世界。）設計這個庭院的北山安夫也有直接企劃過京都或鎌倉的寺院的庭院設計。地點位於國道453號線旁，靠近札幌藝術之森。

Butsugan-ji Temple (Sapporo City, Minami-ku) is famous for its very big reclining Buddha (Nirvana Buddha). The garden was designed to depict images of the worlds of Buddhism. (both the world where people on earth are living, and the world of the promised land - a place of complete bliss, delight and peace.) This garden was designed by Yasuo Kitayama, a famous garden artist of Japan. His other works can be seen at famous temples in historical places in Japan such as Kyoto or Kamakura. Butsugan-ji is on route 453, and it is near Sapporo Art Park.
