What other travelers are saying about Sapporo Clock Tower
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).
Sapporo has a number of historic buildings that have been maintained very well through the years and the clock tower in the city center is one of them. This building is just a block away from Odori park and has a tower with 2 faces to tell the time. It's become sort of a museum now
Admission fee 200 yen
One of a Saporo Landmark, you dhouldn't missed!
It is the oldest Western-style building in Sapporo. Highlights include the antique clock and the exhibition, which tells the history of the clock tower.
The historical clock tower is now used as an exhibition on Sapporo history. The clock will ring every o'clock. They have set a selfie corner at the right hand side of the entrance of the tower, I'm very appreciative with the setting which allows solo travellers to take a nice picture!
A Sapporo landmark. The building now houses a museum and a small souvenir shop. The first floor narrates the earlier years of the city, while the second floor is an open hall with exhibits about the building's construction and restoration, the clock's mechanism, and some video presentations. The staffs are very helpful and friendly.
