Misumai Local History Museum
The former Misumai Tsukoya travelers’ lodge was built in 1872 by the Hokkaido Development Office as a lodging and rest facility for travelers in conjunction with the inauguration of the new road to Usu (the Honganji Road). It was later used as a residence for three generations of the Kuroiwa family and was then acquired by the City of Sapporo in 1984. The present building consists of the old wing (left half), which used to be the travelers’ lodge, and the new wing (right half). This half is open to the public as a local museum which displays the typical contents of a Hokkaido pioneer farmhouse, such as horse stables and barns, and historical materials from Misumai. The building was designated as a Tangible Cultural Property of Sapporo City on March 28, 1984.
