北海道知事公館 / Hokkaido Governor's Official Residence

在北海道知事公館（位於札幌市中央區）有誰都可以免費入場參觀的歷史性建築物和廣闊的庭院。白色的牆壁上有醒目的紅色線條的洋房是在1936年由三井財閥所建造，現在則歸北海道所有。在那裏有約2400棵的樹木、小河與池塘、以及廣闊的草坪，宛如都市的綠洲。庭院4月末到11月末的期間可被使用。

Hokkaido Governor's Official Residence (Sapporo City Chuo-ku) is like a park with free admission. There is a historical building and a large garden. The wall of this western style building is white, with the pattern of dark red lines making it beautiful. This building was built by the Mitsui combine, one of Japan's big conglomerates, in 1936. However, Hokkaido Government owns both this building and its garden now. About 2400 trees, a small river and pond, and a large lawn provide an oasis in the urban area of Sapporo. The garden opens from the end of April to the end of November.
