Hakodate City Museum

The Hakodate City Museum features exhibits of local history and natural sciences across multiple display areas within a structured building complex.

Established in 1966, the museum emerged from its predecessor, the Hakodate Provisional Museum, which first opened its doors in May 1879.

The museum displays a collection of medieval coins from the Shinori area, representing the largest discovered coin hoard in Japan and designated as National Important Cultural Property.

The museum operates from April to October between 9:00 and 16:30, and from November to March between 9:00 and 16:00, with admission fees of 100 yen for adults.

Located within Hakodate Park, the museum stands near Japan's oldest existing museum building, the Old Hakodate Museum Number 1 from 1879.
