Tsukigata Kabato Museum, Prison museum in Tsukigata, Japan
Tsukigata Kabato Museum is a prison museum in Hokkaido displaying materials and documents from a former prison that operated from 1822 to 1919. The collection includes artifacts and detailed information about the facility's history and its role in the region.
The prison began in 1822 and operated for nearly a century before closing in 1919. After closure, the building served different purposes until it was converted to a museum in 1973.
The exhibitions show how prisoners contributed to regional development through their labor under military supervision during the 1800s. This work shaped the early settlement and growth of Hokkaido.
The museum is located in Tsukigata and opens during warmer months from March through November. It is best to visit early in the day when the exhibits are least crowded.
The museum preserves the original prison office structures that visitors can explore firsthand. Interactive displays let visitors experience the types of work that inmates historically performed.
