Seikatei, Historical guest house in Kita-ku, Japan.

The Seikatei building features a combination of Western and Japanese architectural elements, with a five-pointed star motif above the entrance.

Built in 1880 by the Hokkaido Development Commission, Seikatei served as a reception facility for the Meiji Emperor and other distinguished visitors.

The interior design includes a Western-style room with a bay window, alongside Japanese elements such as an engawa porch and traditional sliding doors.

Located within Kairakuen park at coordinates 43.068778, 141.343694, Seikatei opens to visitors without entrance fees except during New Year holidays.

While many structures from the Hokkaido Development Commission era were relocated, Seikatei maintains its original position in Sapporo.
