What other travelers are saying about Sapporo Clock Tower
Nothing really too special about this old clock house. It may have its significant at the time when it was built but it is now surrounded by modern buildings!
If you pay ¥350 for a ticket to visit inside of the building but the information displayed is all in Japanese, Chinese and Korean, very few have English distribution. But the mechanical clock display inside on the second floor is very cool.
Just like many other photo location, there is a stand in front of the building that is set up for taking selfie!
Very nice museum, about the history of the building. Most explanations are translated jn English. There is also a spot inside to take pictures with a statue Dr Clark and a small shop.
Visited in June, and the inside of the building was very hot despite fans and some air conditioning.
A small, but historically important landmark clock tower in Sapporo city which you can visit while you’re in Sapporo!!! It is small & very old Clock tower which is representing the long history of the Sapporo city!!! For sure!!! 👍 ( not that big as you expected too!!!) :)
Unique clock tower. Probably one of the most prominent attractions in Sapporo. This historic site tells a tale of how Japan bought the bell from the US for a school building that eventually became this site. Pay cash at entrance to enter. There are 2 floors of history to read up. Tip, the bell rung at 12pm sharp when we are there. Paid parking at public carparks. There is a small road where you can park at the side of the tower which will be the nearest.
Usui Masao was a terrific host at this wonderful historical landmark. He spoke English, well. He was knowledgeable regarding facts that related to Japan and America! Most of the information he shared would have taken goes to get by translating each picture and item at the museum. Some, I'm sure, we wouldn't have known without him.
