Learn about the town's history of pioneer settlement and potato cultivation
About this spot
This museum preserves the town's pioneer history and lifestyle changes. You can learn about the town's development through field crops, especially potatoes, and the ingenuity of people who lived at the foot of Yotei Mountain through actual materials. Learning about the history behind today's main event, the "Kucchan Potato Festival," will make the evening fireworks feel even more special.
