Kutchan Museum of Natural History
This museum opened in 2002 to enhance public understanding of the nature and history of Kutchan Town and its surrounding areas. The exhibition area is divided into two themes: nature and history. The nature section features Mt. Yotei, the Niseko mountains, and the foothills of those mountains; the history section focuses on history since the prehistoric age, including Hokkaido’s pioneering era, and on people’s lives.
