Descrizione

Explore Sapporo’s iconic landmarks on a guided walking tour. Visit the Sapporo TV Tower, Clock Tower, and Former Hokkaido Government Office with entry tickets included.
Begin your journey at Odori Park, a green oasis that stretches through the center of Sapporo. This park not only serves as a beloved gathering place for residents but also hosts the famous Sapporo Snow Festival each February, when giant snow and ice sculptures transform the city into a winter wonderland.

Rising proudly within the park is the Sapporo TV Tower, built in 1957. The tower’s observation deck provides panoramic views over the city, with Odori Park unfolding beneath you like a ribbon of green in summer or a glistening field of snow in winter.

Nearby stands the Sapporo Clock Tower (Tokeidai), a wooden structure built in 1878 during the early days of Hokkaido’s settlement. Originally part of the Sapporo Agricultural College, the clock has continued to mark the hours for more than a century. Though modest in size, it is one of Sapporo’s most beloved symbols and a living connection to the city’s pioneering era.

Another highlight is the Former Hokkaido Government Office Building, affectionately known as the Red Brick Office (Akarenga Chosha). Constructed over 120 years ago, it once served as the administrative heart of Hokkaido after the pioneering days of the 19th century. Today, it houses exhibitions on Hokkaido’s development, indigenous Ainu culture, and even modern issues such as the Northern Territories dispute. Its red brick façade remains unchanged, making it a striking historical landmark at the center of Sapporo.

This tour includes admission to these iconic sites, so you can fully enjoy the experience without worrying about tickets or logistics. Guided by a knowledgeable local expert, you will gain deeper insights into how Sapporo evolved from a frontier settlement into a modern metropolis while still preserving its unique charm and history.
