Sapporo Ainu Culture Promotion Center

The Sapporo Ainu Culture Promotion Center contains over 300 artifacts representing indigenous Ainu heritage, including traditional clothing, tools, and artistic crafts.

The center, established in December 2003, serves as a primary institution for preserving and teaching about the indigenous Ainu people of Hokkaido.

The facility features a traditional cise dwelling and offers workshops where visitors learn to create Mukkuri musical instruments and practice Ainu embroidery.

Located at 27 Koganeyu, Minami-ku, the museum requires a one-hour bus ride from Sapporo Station, followed by a six-minute walk from the stop.

The center incorporates interactive computer stations that teach visitors proper pronunciation of the Ainu language through digital learning modules.
