Kitamaekan, Maritime heritage museum and gift shop in Takeno, Japan
The Kitamaekan building houses both a museum displaying local maritime artifacts and a retail space selling regional products near Takeno Beach.
The museum commemorates the Kita Mae trading ships that transported goods between Hokkaido and other Japanese ports from the 1600s through the 1800s.
The Kazemachi Museum section presents exhibits about Takeno Beach geological formations with displays in Japanese and English for international visitors.
The facility operates from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, with the museum section open until 5:00 PM and closed on Thursdays except during July and August.
A one-fifth scale model of a historical Kita Mae trading vessel stands at the entrance, representing the maritime trading heritage of the region.
