Sapporo City (札幌市)

Sapporo Illumination Night

In 1981, Sapporo began the tradition of seasonal lights in Japan. During the event, various gleaming works of art of all sizes illuminate Odori Park, while glittering lights adorn the trees around Ekimae-Dori and Minami 1-jo Dori. If you want to get into the holiday spirit, be sure to head over to the German Christmas Market in Sapporo, held on two chome in Odori Park. This Christmas season, we’ll keep the lights on until midnight, making the area a great place to take a romantic late-night walk!

Clock Tower

The Clock Tower or so-called 時計台, Tokeidai is a symbol of Sapporo. The building was designed during the early period of Sapporo’s development in 1878 as a drill hall of the Sapporo Agricultural College. In 1881 a clock purchased from Boston was established.

Today, the Clock Tower fulfills as a museum with displays about the building’s history and Sapporo on the first floor. On the second floor are shows about the clock and a spacious ceremony hall that calls to mind the simple buildings of the colonial American Midwest.

When to go: In Clock Tower, you can visit it any season convenient to go from 8:45 to 17:10 (entry until 17:00). And Endless color sparkles in the white Sapporo winter is the best place to go.
