Kōbunkan

The Kōbunkan museum maintains extensive collections of maritime artifacts, ship models, and historical documents related to Japanese naval development and local maritime traditions.

Established in 1993, this museum emerged from efforts to document and preserve the rich maritime heritage of Kushiro and its evolving relationship with seafaring practices.

The museum exhibits showcase traditional fishing methods, navigation techniques, and the contributions of notable individuals who shaped the maritime industry in Hokkaido.

Guided tours in English and Japanese are available throughout the year, with special rates for students and senior visitors accessing the museum collections.

The facility houses multimedia presentations that document local fishing practices and maritime developments through interactive displays and historical photograph collections.
