Sapporo sightseeing! "Sapporo Clock Tower"

#sightseeing We visited the Sapporo Clock Tower, a tourist spot in Hokkaido. The official name of the Sapporo Clock Tower is the Former Sapporo Agricultural College Drill Hall. It was built in 1878 as a facility for the Sapporo Agricultural College, the predecessor of Hokkaido University, based on the idea of ​​Dr. Clark, the first vice principal, and was designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan in June 1970. As the oldest mechanical tower clock in Japan, we were surprised to see that it still keeps accurate time. Inside the Sapporo Clock Tower is a museum. Here, the history and people of Sapporo Agricultural College and Hokkaido University, as well as the structure and mechanism of the clock tower, are on display. The Sapporo Clock Tower is a tourist spot where you can take photos while enjoying history and culture. It's definitely worth a visit!
