Approximately 13 minutes by car from JR Kikonai Station. It is located along National Route 228. There were about 10 free parking spaces in front of the facility. A town museum that opened in 1984 with the goal of developing a variety of businesses with the motto of "See, Listen, Touch, and Think." Admission is free. On display are grave goods found in Japan's oldest grave excavated from the Yunosato area of the town, materials from the old Matsumae Line, and electrical appliances used in the 1950s. Looking at what was on display The history of Shiriuchi Town from ancient times to the present day You can learn. Nostalgic songs were lined up on the jukebox. Travel back in time to the Showa era It was a fun and interesting place. thank you very much.

Displays the history of the Paleolithic and Jomon periods, as well as earthenware and stone tools.Not only tools used in the past for agriculture, forestry, and fishing, but also home appliances from the early Showa period are on display in good condition. The jukebox, which was left casually, was filled with nostalgic songs.Currently, there are also exhibits of artifacts from the station (the station building no longer exists) from the era of the Japanese National Railways, which was discontinued. I was once again surprised by the amount of cultural assets that Shiriuchi Town has.I felt like I understood a little bit more about Shiriuchi Town.*I learned valuable information about Saburo Kitajima's childhood and student days. Photographs were also on display.

It is a surprisingly young town, having only been around for about 50 years. Admission is free. Since there are likely to be very few visitors, the lights are turned off to save energy, but the staff will turn them on. There is a 50-year-old VTR near the entrance, and it takes 45 minutes to watch. Common exhibits, items related to the old Esashi Line, movie projectors, etc. are on display.
