Former Hokkaido Government Building

The guide was updated: 2019-04-17

This red brick building with its characteristic octagonal dome is beautifully lit after dark. It has been destroyed several times over the years, and restored time and again to its former glory. The building is today listed as one of the National Important Cultural Property, and a symbol of the city itself.
