[2025 Sapporo Attraction] Travel Guide for Former Hokkaido Government Office Building (Updated Aug)

#JulyTravelSupport Sapporo, the central city of Hokkaido, is a city full of beautiful photos, not just in nature but also within the city! I'll introduce three photo spots in the city that are perfect for even a short trip. 📷 1. Nikka-san (Nikka-san/Nikka Whiskey Sign) 🥃🧔 An iconic sight you'll definitely see in Susukino near Sapporo Station! This bearded man(?) stands out among the flashy neon signs, and is the symbol of Nikka Whiskey. Capture it at night for a truly captivating experience. 2. Odori Park & Sapporo TV Tower 📺🌲 A long park stretching out in the heart of the city! Pictures with the TV Tower in the frame really capture the Sapporo vibe! The flowers and sculptures change with the seasons, so you can capture new photos no matter when you visit. 3. Former Hokkaido Government Office Building (Hokkaido Government Office) 🏛️🍁 The red brick building, blue roof, and garden are a perfect combination. Also known as the "Red Brick Office," this place shows a different charm with each season, making it a perfect photo spot! It's especially picturesque against the backdrop of autumn foliage and winter snow. 📷 You can easily capture some incredible shots right in Sapporo! These uncluttered yet emotionally rich spots are perfect for solo travelers! #Sapporo #TravelPlan #OverseasTravel #JapanTravel #PhotoSpot

The Hokkaido Prefectural Government Red Brick Office (former main office) is closed until March 2025 due to renovation work. It is currently open to the public as the Hokkaido Prefectural Government Office Temporary Tour Facility. As the "Red Brick Office, Only Here" you can see various materials on display, and you can even see the "Octagonal Tower" and "Octagonal Tower Pole" up close, within reach 😊 I visited without knowing that it was undergoing renovation work, but it was a valuable, one-of-a-kind experience. You can take photos, and the explanatory materials seem to have been carefully and carefully created over a long period of time. The construction methods of the renovation work are explained in detail, so we highly recommend the "Hokkaido Government Office Temporary Viewing Facility" currently under renovation as a tourist spot😊 400m from the subway "Sapporo Station" 550m from JR "Sapporo Station" "Hokkaido Government Office Red Brick Office (Former Main Office)" 1-6-1 Kita 3-jo Nishi, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido 060-0003 #Hokkaido #Sapporo #Hokkaido Trip #Hokkaido Walk #Sapporo Sightseeing #Sapporo Trip #Hokkaido Sightseeing

The departure was very sudden. We booked the plane tickets at the last minute, flew to Tokyo, bought the tourist pass, stayed in Tokyo for one night, and then took the Tokaido Shinkansen JR from Tokyo Station to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station to stay one night. The next day we took the 11:05 Yat Express from Shin-Hakodate to Sapporo Station. We booked the hotel for tonight on the train. It is recommended to take motion sickness medicine for this train because it is quite shaking. It takes more than three hours to reach Sapporo. After arriving, it was already 3:30, almost 4 o'clock when we got to the hotel next to the station. After putting our things, we set off again. Li Xiaolu took her own bus No. 11 all the way to Datong Park and then to Daoli Xiaolu for dinner. My whole nerves started to hurt from the beginning. The little brat was very worrying. Luckily, there was a Don Quijote next to the restaurant where I bought some painkillers and then went to Seven to buy some water. The little brat was so mean that it gave me a terrible headache. I had to run away from home in Sapporo, Hokkaido, and walked back to the hotel by myself for more than 20 minutes. I can only say that raising children is so tiring. I miss the time when I was a backpacker alone.

#indoordate #japantravel #overseastravel #japantravel #sapporotravel #hokkaidogovernmentoffice The Former Hokkaido Government Office Building was formerly the Hokkaido government office. This building, active during the pioneering era, was later converted into a museum in modern times. It recently underwent renovations and reopened in July 2025. The formal red building and the museum inside, both inside and out, have long been beloved. We entered at 8:00 PM, 30 minutes before closing time. However, there was so much to see that we couldn't see everything. That was a shame, and we often found ourselves wishing we could come back again. Please read the instructions below carefully and make sure you leave plenty of time! ———————— Opening Hours: 8:44 AM - 8:30 PM (Last admission at 9:00 PM) Price Range: 300 yen per person Payment: Cash/QR Code/Card ————————— 1) History and Reproduction of the Hokkaido Government Office As a key player in modernization, the Hokkaido Government Office retains its original charm. Its wide porches, windows, and red carpets, reminiscent of a fantasy aristocratic mansion, are prime examples. Simply admiring them is a feast for the eyes. The interior also offers a detailed introduction to the history of the Hokkaido Government Office. Learn how the original building was constructed, how renovations were carried out, and what official duties were performed within. The exhibits, combined with videos and actual objects, offer a wealth of educational opportunities. 2) Characteristics of Hokkaido One exhibition hall showcased Hokkaido's specialties and famous products. This is where we took the longest to see, and why we often couldn't see everything within the time limit. Hakodate's famous buildings, Furano's flowers and melons, Wakkanai's North Breakwater Dome and Cape Soya, and the local specialties of each region, and so much more. If you're planning a long stay in Hokkaido, be sure to visit this place first. It will serve as your landmark. 3) History of Development The maps and videos beautifully recreate the development of Hokkaido and the events that took place there. Rather than focusing solely on one, they combine the two, making it easy to understand and learn. The visuals are also stunning, so don't miss it. 4) History of the Ainu The exhibits on the Ainu, the indigenous people of Hokkaido, are also comprehensive. They showcase traditional clothing, attire, language, and more. This is a symbol of the recent, full-fledged integration of the Ainu, so if you're interested, this is a great opportunity to explore. 5) Special Exhibitions That Change Regularly With the special exhibition hall, you'll be able to see a variety of new exhibitions in the future. Be sure to check out the website to see the exhibitions you want to see. The moment you step here, sightseeing becomes an experience. Experiences become history. Join us in this moment of history.

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. **Travel Tips:** * Address: Kita 3-jo Nishi 6-chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo * Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 (closed on Mondays) * Tickets: Free * Transportation: Take the subway Namboku Line, Tozai Line or Toho Line to "Odori Station" and walk about 5 minutes to arrive. **Suggested tour time:** 1-2 hours **Nearby attractions:** Sapporo Clock Tower, Odori Park, Sapporo TV Tower #Hokkaido

#0yentravelautumn The Former Hokkaido Government Office Building is a spot full of historical charm. The beautiful red brick exterior is impressive and blends in with the surrounding greenery. Once inside, the spacious lobby and detailed decorations give you a sense of the past. You can freely explore the building and learn about Hokkaido's history from the exhibits. By visiting, I was able to experience the history and culture of Hokkaido, which was a valuable experience. It's a great place to stop by between sightseeing. The size is just right for a walking course.

Taking advantage of the cherry blossoms in full bloom, I specially came here today to see the flowers. The cherry blossoms in Hokkaido are indeed large, the trees are very tall, and there are many blossoms. However, the trees are a bit too tall, making it inconvenient for close-up shots. Nevertheless, it feels really nice, and the tulips are also beautiful, making the whole place a sea of flowers. It's truly a sight to behold. Location Name: Hokkaido Government Office (Former Main Building) Address: 6 Chome-1 Kita 3 Jonishi, Chuo Ward, Sapporo, Hokkaido 060-0003, Japan

It rained heavily last night. I was worried that the cherry blossoms would be knocked down by the sudden heavy rain. After breakfast in the morning, I went straight to the Hokkaido Metropolitan Government Office to inspect the damage. The tulips were all tilted and I was worried that the cherry blossoms would cover the ground. Later, I took a look and found that the cherry blossoms were still strong and not knocked down. Only a small part was damaged. It seems that my cherry blossom rain still has a chance. I feel relieved and decided to find a dessert shop to celebrate! #9月好去处2024 Place name: Hokkaido Metropolitan Government Office Hokkaido Akarengahakasha (Old Main Office) 📍Address: 6 Chome-1 Kita 3 Jonishi, Chuo Ward, Sapporo, Hokkaido 060-0003Japan

This is the former prefectural office building, and it has become a facility where you can learn about the history of the building and the history of Hokkaido. It is undergoing renovation until March 2025, and parts of the building are being demolished and restored. Currently, you cannot see the inside or its glamorous appearance, but in a sense, you can see a precious sight, so it may be recommended to visit during the construction. The image is from before the renovation when I visited previously, and the color matches the surrounding scenery and has a great atmosphere. In order to preserve the historical value of the "Red Brick Office Building", a valuable asset inherited from our ancestors, and pass it on to the next generation, it is a large-scale renovation including earthquake-resistance renovation. It will be made barrier-free to the extent that it does not lose its value as a cultural asset, and a select shop selling Hokkaido products and a dining space will be built. #Architecture and Culture #100 Travel Styles #Former Hokkaido Government Office Building #Hokkaido Tourism #Red Brick #Me and Travel #0 Yen Travel
