Obihiro Centennial City Museum (帯広百年記念館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A museum inside Midorigaoka Park covering the nature and history of Tokachi (十勝). It is laid out in order, from the geological story of how the broad Tokachi Plain (十勝平野) was formed, to the life of the Ainu people, to the course of settlement from the Meiji era onward. Real artifacts convey how this land, now spread with fields and pastures, once looked completely different. You can walk over from the zoo, so the whole morning is completed within the park, which is another help. The air-conditioned interior is also a reliable refuge for the hours when the sun grows strong.

Tips

Check the admission fee and closing days in advance. The exhibition rooms are a place to be quiet, so putting the zoo first to get some movement in means everyone can view the displays calmly. Keep the visit to about 40 minutes to save energy for the afternoon water play. The layout is easy to get around with a stroller.

Best time to visit

About 40 minutes. You can walk straight over from the zoo
