Repurposed from an elementary school building, this museum features the history and culture of Kikonai Town and other areas of southern Hokkaido. More than 1,000 railway-related exhibits are displayed, in addition to materials related to the Japanese warship Kanrin Maru, which was built in the twilight years of shogunate rule. Also exhibited are objects unearthed from ancient archaeological sites, and tools and other items that contributed to the development of the town and its industry.
