On the street in front of Sapporo Station stretching north, there are still some retro stone buildings remaining. Only the first floor remains stone, and the upper floors have been rebuilt, but they are quite charming and are great spots for taking photos. There are also buildings that are open to the public, so the underground pedestrian space is nice, but on a sunny day it's also fun to walk outside. #EastJapan #HokkaidoTrip #PhotogenicSpots
