About this place

A triangular roof, a big clock, and a past as a school drill hall 😲

3.9 · 17,661 reviews · GOOGLE_MAPS

A clock tower that started as a drill hall!? Sapporo Clock Tower was built on October 16, 1878, as the Former Sapporo Agricultural College Drill Hall, serving as a martial arts practice space and indoor gym. About three years later, on August 12, 1881, a clock was installed in the bell tower and began operating. That makes it Japan’s oldest clock tower!

The triangular roof with its large clock is the first thing to catch your eye. The two-story wooden building was planned by engineer William Wheeler, the second vice principal of Sapporo Agricultural College. The first floor held rooms including a laboratory and lecture rooms; the second-floor drill hall hosted training and physical education, as well as entrance and graduation ceremonies. Nitobe Inazo and Uchimura Kanzo graduated here and received their bachelor’s degrees.

Sapporo Ward bought the building in 1906 and moved it to its current site. It served as a library from 1911 to 1966, the year permanent preservation was decided, and became an Important Cultural Property in 1970. Today, its museum introduces Sapporo’s history amid the surrounding high-rises. It’s a five-minute walk from Odori Station on the Sapporo Municipal Subway, and the site is wheelchair accessible. Pop in and compare this historic landmark with the city around it 📚

From drill hall to clock tower

Its formal name was the Former Sapporo Agricultural College Drill Hall. Built following a proposal by first vice principal Clark and modeled on education at Massachusetts Agricultural College, it began as a place for martial arts and physical training. About three years later, it became a clock tower. Keep that change of purpose in mind as you look up at the clock beneath the triangular roof 🏫

School days in the building

The second-floor drill hall hosted training and physical education, along with entrance and graduation ceremonies and celebrations. Nitobe Inazo and Uchimura Kanzo graduated here and received their bachelor’s degrees. Inside, a museum introduces Sapporo’s history—so there’s plenty to connect with beyond the clock 🙂

A landmark kept in the city

Moved to its present location in 1906, the building later served as a library from 1911 to 1966. Permanent preservation was decided in 1966, and it was designated an Important Cultural Property in 1970. The former college grounds preserve a sense of its earlier setting, while high-rises now surround it. Odori Station is a five-minute walk away; take a look at the contrast as you stroll through downtown Sapporo 👀

#slowmornings visiting the #SapporoClockTower 🕰️ While it’s tucked between modern skyscrapers today, this 1878 wooden icon was originally the drill hall for The Sapporo Agricultural College, now Hokkaido University. The clock mechanism is a 140-year-old masterpiece from Boston that still runs entirely on gravity. No electricity, just 200 kg of weights and a manual winding every few days to keep…
