The former Sapporo Court of Appeal building dates from 1926 and is described as one of the largest surviving buildings of Sapporo soft stone. The city notes that of eight Court of Appeal buildings, only Nagoya's and Sapporo's survive. A blindfolded statue of Justice stands above the entrance.

In 1906 the former Sapporo Agricultural College Drill Hall (the Clock Tower) was moved intact to its present site, with its tower and clock mechanism still attached. The ward assembly that reviewed the budget was split on its direction; a vote of 8 for west and 6 for south kept it facing west.

Hassoan is a tea house said to be the work of the Edo-period tea master Kobori Enshu. A Sapporo businessman bought the building in Nagahama, Shiga Prefecture, and had it moved to Sapporo in 1919. It stands in Nakajima Park.
