5. Former Sapporo Agricultural School Performance Hall (Clock Tower)

(5-minute walk from Odori Park Station)

Nishi 11-chome Station is a 6-minute walk from the Sapporo Archives Museum. There are many subway Tozai lines. It is also a 20-minute walk from the Sapporo Archives Museum.

It was built in 1878 as a performance hall (indoor gymnasium) in the middle of the schoolyard of Sapporo Agricultural College. It is a national important cultural property.

It is famous as a disgraceful tourist spot called “Japan’s Three Great Disappointing Spots”.

The 2nd floor terrace of the building “Sapporo MN Building” across the road is a shooting spot where you can see a clock tower different from the one on the ground, according to the Sapporo City website. In addition, the Sapporo City Hall is diagonally opposite the back of the clock tower, and there is also a clock tower shooting spot in this bicycle parking space. It is introduced that the clock tower can be photographed from above because the observation corridor on the 19th floor of the city hall is open for free in the summer. Why don’t you enjoy shooting from various angles for photos that are not “disappointing”?

6. Lunch

We will eat “Soup Curry”, which is a “local dishes loved by nation” announced by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. I have never been there, but I was very attracted to “CURRY YA! CONG” (Tabelog famous 100 restaurants, 6 minutes walk from Toyohira Bridge), so I would like to introduce it.

There are many subway Namboku lines.
