The Former Hokkaido Government Office Building is an American-neo-baroque structure constructed in 1888 as a base of the Hokkaido administration. The nickname is Akarenga or "Red Brick." It is the symbol of Hokkaido and was designated a Japanese Important Cultural Property in 1969. Behind the current Hokkaido Government building, the building is located in North 3 West 6, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan.
Currently, the facilities inside the building include a conference room, a museum shop, a tourist information office, and a few historical exhibition rooms and libraries.

北海道庁旧本庁舎（ほっかいどうちょうきゅうほんちょうしゃ）は、かつて北海道庁の本庁舎として建築された煉瓦造りの西洋館（国の重要文化財）である。「旧道庁」や「道庁赤レンガ庁舎」、「赤レンガ」などと呼ばれ、親しまれている。
館内は北海道開拓関係資料を展示・保存する北海道立文書館等として一般に公開されているが、一部は隣接する現道庁の会議室として現在でも使用されている。北海道（道庁）にとっての象徴的存在であり、広報番組などのタイトルにしばしば「赤レンガ」が用いられている。道庁前のイチョウ並木は大正14年、勅任技師名井九介（みょういくすけ）の指導により植えられたもの。
キャッシュは中に入らなくても発見できます。キャッシュはログシートのみなので、ペンを持ってきて下さい。
