The Former Hokkaido Government Office (also known as the "Red Brick Office"), located in the heart of Sapporo, was built in 1888 and is a representative example of Hokkaido government history. Crafted in an American red brick style, it incorporates Western neoclassical design elements, resulting in a majestic exterior. Today, the building serves as a historical museum showcasing Hokkaido's pioneering history, culture, and natural resources, hosting a variety of exhibitions and events. Surrounded by beautiful grounds and gardens, the building changes color with each passing season, making it a popular tourist and leisure destination in downtown Sapporo.
