Hokkaido Ainu Center
Introduction to Japan's Original Inhabitants
Back to Hokkaido Ainu Center
What makes it so special is not that it is a museum with artifacts over 1000 years old. It is not just the preservation but also the recreation of the lifestyle which was lost somewhere during the evolution of the civilization.

I was in Sapporo in 1946-49, My father was in the 11 Airborne Div. at Camp Crawford I was 6 tears old in 1946. I can still remember the wonderfull bears that the Ainus carved in a small room at a department store in downtown Sapporo! This was a very good time in my young life, and a great place to have to lived. Sincerley James Gibson

This museum, is a fair distance outside the city, but it's an interesting stop especially if you're going that direction anyway to Lake Toya or near there to see the volcanos. The museum is full of information on the Ainu (first inhabitants of Hokkaido--sometimes referred to as indians). They also do some recreations with live shows of the average day of the Ainu people. Worth a look, but unless it's of strong interest to you, or you're going to be in the area, I'm not sure if I would say it's worth the trip from the city, if that's all you plan to do.
