Matsumae Town
This facility enables visitors to learn the complete history of Matsumae Town, from the prehistoric Jomon period to the Edo period (1603-1868). Exhibits include Jomon pottery, which attests to human and material exchanges across the Tsugaru Strait, parade float decorations created in Kyoto in the Edo period, and cannonballs used in the Battle of Hakodate. The facility holds a small special exhibition twice a year.
