About this spot

A museum adjacent to the Oshorino Site, which is registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the "Jomon Sites of Hokkaido and the Northern Tohoku" group. Through exhibits of excavated pottery and stone tools, visitors can experience the daily life of the Jomon period and the wisdom of its people. Child-friendly exhibits and interactive experience corners make it enjoyable for children discovering history for the first time. It also serves as excellent preparation for exploring the outdoor site areas to follow.

Tips

The indoor museum is cool and provides good shelter on hot days. Check photography policies for each exhibit. From here, you can easily walk to the outdoor pit-dwelling area.
