    The landmark of the city is a landmark because it healed. The inside history of the English language, most have little Japan is not worth 200 yen entrance naloei.

    Clock Tower 3 large Japan is not really that disappointing tourist said.. If you actually watch has been used anymore. Like the clock tower with 10 minutes.

    Looks pretty cool. It was nighttime, snowy, and really cold. Got a picture though. We walked by during the daytime and the doors were open.  more »

    2 floors of history stored in this place. Centrally located along odori park. Come if you like architecture and the story behind it
  • By Irene Gianov
    It's indeed full of history, and quite a lot of people were visiting. If I'm not mistaken, it used to be a school, where the students were the one who built Sapporo city. I met a woman at the second floor, who explained those things, guess she was a tour leader (?) One thing I'm a bit upset about is that the things on exhibition side were all in Japanese language, so kind of impossible to be understood by tourists like me 😂

    Was there for the new year countdown. Museum was open till late. The concert during New year was a good setup

    A great place to take photo and sketch some drawing. It's beautiful!
