Datos rápidos: The iconic clock mechanism has been ticking continuously for over 130 years, making it one of the oldest working clocks in Japan. The building originally served as a drill hall for the former Sapporo Agricultural College, now Hokkaido University.
Destacados: Visitors can hear the chimes ring out exactly on the hour, a nostalgic sound preserved since the late 19th century. The wooden structure's American-influenced architecture pops against Sapporo's modern skyline, creating an intriguing blend of old and new.
Consejos de expertos
- Wear comfortable shoes as the wooden floors can be slightly uneven.
- Best photo spot is from the lawn facing the front where the clock tower stands tall against the sky.
- Skip peak lunch hours to enjoy a quiet tour inside the building.
- Visit during weekdays, ideally morning, to avoid crowds and hear the clock chimes clearly.
