    I'm sure you can come to Hokkaido next winter, when the swans come!

    Coming into March, it's getting warmer. This is the best time to build a snowman with Hokkaido's snow.
    When it's too cold, the snow is fluffy, so it doesn't clump together.

    Due to the former government office red brick building being under maintenance, you are not able to look inside until March 2023.
    However, you can see it in its entirety until summer, due to the Tokyo Olympics marathon event (August) marathon course taking place in Sapporo. After that it will be covered and no longer visible for some time. By all means, please come to take a picture of the beautiful former government office red brick building.
