घडिको बिवरण Sapporo Clock Tower (tokeidai) Hokkaido Built in 1878, and now protected as an important cultural property, it attracts a stream of tourists. All tours stop here, though apparently many of the tourists are disappointed to find that the clocktower is not very tall. It was the tallest building in Sapporo at the time of its construction, but these days it is dwarfed by the apartments and modern office buildings that have sprung up around it. It is near to the Hotel Okura Address: Nishi 5 Chome Minami 1-jo, Chuo-ku, Sapporo
