Travel Through Tokachi’s Past at the Obihiro Centennial City Museum

Explore the Tokachi region’s long agricultural, industrial, and cultural history at the Obihiro Centennial City Museum. Located about 10 minutes by car or 30 minutes on-foot from Obihiro Station, this museum has permanent exhibitions highlighting the region’s ancient past and modern present. Why not start in Ice Age-era Tokachi, and cast your eyes on the mammoths who called it home? Next, learn about the development of agriculture and industry after checking out prehistoric fossils and Jomon-era pottery. Before you leave, be sure to stop by the Riuka Folk Culture Information Center to study the life and culture of the indigenous Ainu people.
