The former Hokkaido Government Office Building, one of the symbols of Hokkaido, is an important cultural property of Japan.
It is also called the "Red Brick Government Building" and is made using about 2.5 million bricks! The building has a "five-pointed star", which is a symbol of the pioneer mission, so you can find it.
The museum is decorated with dioramas that reproduce the city of Sapporo in the Meiji era and paintings related to the development of Hokkaido, and you can learn about the history of Hokkaido. Among them, the 26-part map of Hokkaido created by Takeshiro Matsuura, the godfather of "Hokkaido", is full of spectacles!
Currently, it is closed until February 17, 2025 due to large-scale renovation work due to aging, but the temporary facility is open to the public during the renovation work.
It is a spot that shows a different expression depending on the season, with cherry blossoms and lilacs in spring, lush greenery and hamanasu in summer, and autumn leaves in autumn.
There are many gourmet spots in the area, so be sure to stop by.
