日本中の民族博物館、日常生活を展示した博物館をいろいろ周っていますが、農耕生活が展示されていない施設はここぐらいではないでしょうか？採取狩猟生活、特に狩猟の展示が多くあります。北半球の高緯度地域はこの生活環境は結構共通しているようで、幅広く比較しています。ただ一つだけ残念なのは扱う範囲に対して展示スペースが少ないこと。もっと知りたいと思うことがたくさん出てきます。そのせいもあってか無駄な展示は一... more »

The facilities ethnographic museum in Japan, the Museum daily variety around, but not exhibited agricultural life is about here? Many exhibits of the collection hunting life, especially hunting there. High-latitude regions of the northern hemisphere this living environment is quite have in common seems, compares the wide range. Unfortunately only one exhibit for the scope of less space. You want to know more there will be. Its had, not a waste exhibits.

As someone who doesn't typically choose a museum as something to visit on a weekend or while traveling, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the Northern People's Museum. It is really well designed and has so much information. The entrance free is only 550 yen and includes a free audio guide which I recommend to anyone who is not a Japanese speaker. Without the guide I would probably be able to walk through the museum in 15-20 minutes but the audio guide makes you stop and listen and you end up finding out a lot more than if you just browsed all the items they have in their collection. I definitely recommend this museum if you are in the Abashiri area!

Such an amazing museum. I always loved geography and demographics and I was always fascinated by people living in extreme weather - and this museum is totally delivering that. Absolutely recommended.

¥800 gets you into both the permanent and special exhibitions. Audio guide was great and there are some interesting exhibits. Only disappointment was the lack of mammoth in the exhibit. We went there specifically for this and the best we got was a tusk.
