Sapporo Clock Tower

Sapporo Clock Tower is one of the city’s best-known historic landmarks and a rare reminder of Sapporo’s early development in the 1870s. Built as part of the former Agricultural College, the wooden building is valued for its simple Western-style design and still-working clock mechanism. Inside, small exhibits introduce Hokkaido’s pioneer era and the tower’s role in local history. It’s a worthwhile short stop for travelers interested in architecture, heritage, or seeing a symbol of central Sapporo amid the modern city.
