The Former Hokkaido Government Office Building: A Time-Traveling Encounter
Stepping into the old Hokkaido government building in the center of Sapporo, it feels like traveling back to the Meiji era. The red brick building combines American neo-baroque and traditional Japanese styles, solemn and elegant. The old photos and real objects in the exhibition hall tell the history of Hokkaido's development, which is touching. Under the sunset, this historical witness is more solemn, symbolizing the spirit of Hokkaido. Free opening, convenient transportation, worth a visit.
