What other travelers are saying about Former Hokkaido Government Building
As of 10-2024, closed and under renovation until 2025. If you’re close by, it’s still worth it to stop by and look around in front. There are strange looking birds in the pond.
This is for Google Map. It shows these pictures for the old government building which is temporarily closed. It’s misleading and waste valuable time of tourists.
The lake is beautiful though so it’s not a total waste.
The red-brick building of Former Hokkaido Government Office built in 1888 with American neo-baroque style. Located at Hokkaido, the building houses historic exhebitions, museum shop, tourist information office and a conference room. We can go there with an 8 minutes walking from west exit of JR Sapporo Station. It is famous because of unique architectural features with its massive double doors and waroed glass that designed to keep out the cold of Hokkaido winter climate. The darker bricks used for the lower parts of its outer walls were heated at higher temperatures to withstand heavier pressure. This iconic beautiful building at Sapporo is so amazing for photo spot.
Summer review.
Free entrance. Preserved buildings with its history depicted on paintings and writings inside some of the rooms.
It's nearby the other tourist spots so take time to check it out.
This is really a beautiful location, the building looks awesome and had great view for Photography.
It has catchy red colour and the snow gives the added advantage for taking Photos.
This location is just for viewing there may not be entry I think, thank you for reading!
