This museum features the lives of people of an ancient Okhotsk culture who are known as the Moyoro people, who built a settlement at the estuary of the Abashiri River on the Sea of Okhotsk about 1,300 years ago. Objects unearthed at the museum’s neighboring archaeological site provide insights into the livelihoods, burial customs, and beliefs of the Moyoro people, who found sustenance in northern seas.
