Yubutsu Museum (勇武津資料館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A municipal museum in the Yufutsu district that tells the story of how this land was pioneered. Through documents and models you can follow the events of the late Edo period, when the Hachioji Sennin Doshin settled this wilderness to guard and develop the land of Ezo (蝦夷地). Life amid harsh nature is displayed in concrete terms, so even children can grasp how the quiet landscape now spread before them came to be. Because it is not large, you can go round it while attention still holds, which is a blessing for families with small children. It also makes a well-timed stop for a rest before the afternoon's water play.

Tips

Check the open season, opening hours and closed days in the Tomakomai city information in advance. It is only a short drive from Yufutsu Furusato Park, so it fits either before or after the water play. The inside is quiet, so agreeing on voice levels with small children beforehand helps them settle in. There are few restaurants nearby, so prepare drinks in advance.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. Well suited to spending the strong early-afternoon sunshine indoors.
