Featuring a red brick construction and central dome, Former Hokkaido Government Office Building remains one of the country's rare examples of Neo-Baroque architecture. The historic landmark boasts a distinctive appearance based on government buildings from the American state of Massachusetts. Built in 1888 and rebuilt in 1911, the structure features a colorful flower garden, arched windows, block rooftops, and multiple protruding chimneys. Head inside to check out a small museum on the second floor, home to a collection of artifacts and displays chronicling the history of the island and the city. Keep in mind that many of the exhibit descriptions inside the building do not have English translations.

삿포로 역에서 멀리 떨어지지 않은 곳에 위치하고 있다. 그냥 지나가다가 잠시 들릴만한 곳이다. 만약 방문하게 된다면 꼭 밤에 방문하는 것을 추천한다! more »

道庁の壁面にプロジェクションマッピングをするという面白い企画をしていると知り、訪問しました。アイヌ文化をテーマにした約15分のプログラムで、映像だけでなく効果音が印象的でした。 時計台から近く、道庁の向かい側はイルミネーションがキレイで、大した移動をすることなく楽しめました。 more »

At the center of the city and a best place to learn the history of Sapporo and Hokkaido. The classic european style building is still very much preserved until today. Free of admission and they have a good english explanation on their exhibition section.

Photo stop, mini-museum and a good break to warm up. Museum showcases history of Hokkaido's development but most exhibits are in Japanese. Free admission.

Beautiful old red brick building in the heart of Sapporo with lovely grounds that include 2 ponds. Good place to take photos and go for a short walk.
