Hokkaido Governor's Official Residence, Tudor style residence in Chuo-ku, Japan

The Hokkaido Governor's Official Residence displays red and white exterior walls with high ceiling rooms across two floors in traditional Tudor architecture.

Built in 1936 as a vacation property for Mitsui Partnership Company, the residence transferred to Hokkaido prefecture ownership in 1953 for governmental functions.

The residence earned recognition as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property of Japan in 1999, representing the preservation of Western architectural influence.

Visitors can access the residence daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM through a 5-minute walk from the Subway Tozai Line West 18th Street station.

The property contains remains of a thousand-year-old pit dwelling within its grounds, connecting modern governance with ancient Japanese settlements.
