The former Hokkaidō Government Office, a historical building in Sapporo, Japan, is a symbol of the region's past and a testament to its development. Built in 1888, this American neo-baroque style structure was one of the largest buildings in Japan at the time. It has survived multiple fires and restorations, and today, it houses a museum, a tourist information office, and historical exhibitions. The building's red bricks, numbering around 2.5 million, were sourced from local villages, adding to its historical significance and charm.
