Sapporo Clock Tower
The Clock Tower is synonymous with Sapporo. In 1878, the Sapporo Agricultural College built the building as a drill hall during the early phase of Sapporo's development. A clock that was bought in Boston was installed in 1881.
After sunset, the building is illuminated, bringing a hint of white to the gray business district.
