Misumai Local History Museum (簾舞郷土資料館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This is a City of Sapporo local history museum in Misumai, Minami Ward, housed in the former Kuroiwa Family Residence (旧黒岩家住宅). The building has a history as a wayside rest house where travellers on the Honganji Road (本願寺道路) once stopped, and it is a valuable wooden structure that conveys Sapporo's pioneer era to the present day. Inside, farm implements and household tools are on display, letting you picture in concrete terms how people lived in an age without electricity or running water. The exhibition is not large, but that means children can look carefully at each item as they go round. Admission is free, so it is an easy way to spend an hour in the morning.

Tips

The opening season and opening days are limited, so be sure to check the opening days and hours on the official City of Sapporo page before you visit. There are few parking spaces, so when it is busy, wait your turn rather than parking on the street. There are areas inside where you take off your shoes, so footwear that is easy to slip on and off makes things smoother.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. It is quiet right after opening, so you can look around at leisure
