Tsukigata Kabato Museum, Prison museum in Tsukigata, Japan
The Tsukigata Kabato Museum displays historical materials, artifacts, and documents relating to the former Kabato Shujikan prison that operated from 1822 to 1919.
The prison building served as Tsukigata Village Hall until 1973, when it underwent renovation and became the Hokkaido Gyokei Shiryokan before adopting its current name in 1996.
The museum exhibitions demonstrate how prisoners contributed to regional development through their labor under the supervision of Tondenhei soldiers in nineteenth-century Hokkaido.
Located at 1219 Kabatogun Tsukigatacho, the museum opens daily from March 20 to November 30, between 9:30 AM and 5:00 PM, with admission fees of 300 yen for adults.
The facility maintains original prison office structures and offers interactive exhibits where visitors can experience the types of labor performed by former inmates.
