Nice to see, but don’t make a trip to this part of town just for the clock tower. It’s surprisingly small and interesting to look at for about 30 seconds; not much beyond that.

Enjoyed the easy walk about town, from the eki to the parks and to the clocktower; one can stroll easily and observe so many interets and beautiful things;

Don’t make a special trip. The building is historic, but not super interesting.

I ended up staying here longer than expected. English and other languages were translation on some of the history stands. Worker there spoke English and welcomed me, sharing his personal passion for the clock tower. I enjoyed walking through what felt like a special treasure of Sapporo!
