What other travelers are saying about Sapporo Clock Tower
It’s a clock tower with historical significance. The museum runs you through its origination, when it became a clock tower and how it was moved and preserved. There’s really not too much to do inside and you can get good pictures of the clock tower without entering and paying the entrance fee, though the fee is cheap and there’s no wait to get in.
One of the landmarks here in Sapporo. It’s more of the historical importance of the clock.
You can enter and learn more about the clock and take a look.
Most people just take photo from outside and there is a dedicated spot for photo taking. Common angle of the clock taken by visitors.
Entry is 200 💴
Fun little place you can get in for 200¥
What's really stood out to me is how preserved the place is. You can follow the history of the building itself and also most importantly how Sapporo has evolved through time as the clock tower being used.
A well-maintained building that captures Sapporo more than 140 years ago, when Sapporo was but a small town. Volunteers are eager to share the history and purpose of this educational facility, a centerpiece for the area at the time. Small models depict what the city looked like. Old books, documents, and records share the story of this historic landmark in the midst of today’s giant buildings in a sprawling city (now fifth largest in Japan).
Nice way to see the history of Sapporo. Seems like the Americans had influence on the agricultural heritage of hokkaido.! Nice little western style clock tower. Definitely worth dropping by.
