Welcome to the Abashiri Prison Museum
The Abashiri Prison Museum is an outdoor museum of history.
Buildings that have been for the Abashiri Prison since the
Meiji era (1868–1912) are preserved and open to the
public.
The oldest building was constructed about 120
years ago, 6 years after the Abashiri Prison was established.
Logs were sawed into boards by inmates without using
machinery, so you can see the rough finish on the surface of
the thick beams and pillars. Visit the museum to learn about
the history of the prison. First, visit the various pages of
this website.
