What other travelers are saying about Former Hokkaido Government Building
I came here in summer 2023 and the government office building was under construction. And the front was covered. This time I got to see the real building which was very beautiful but still inside was under renovation until July 2025. Giving me more reasons to come back to visit. There’s a spot on the left side facing the building. A bridge on the pond which reminded me of Monet’s painting.
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 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!
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.
