Tomakomai City Museum, Art museum and historical center in Tomakomai, Japan.

Tomakomai City Museum is a combined museum and art museum in Tomakomai, Hokkaido, nicknamed "Amyu." Its first floor shows the geology and nature of the Yufutsu and Mount Tarumae area, with a mammoth parent-and-child statue in the entrance hall. The second floor displays artifacts from city sites, Ainu folk tools, and the history of settlement and industry, including a section on Tomakomai as a skating town.

The Tomakomai City Museum opened on 9 November 1985; the city had decided on a local museum plan in 1973, marking Tomakomai's centenary, and approved the basic construction plan in 1983. The museum closed from August 2012 to March 2013 for an extension and renovation, reopened that April, and on 27 July 2013 relaunched as the Tomakomai City Museum of Art and History, combining museum and art gallery.

The displays feature Ainu traditions and customs that have shaped the local identity for generations. You will see how these cultural expressions appear in traditional crafts and objects used in daily life.

The building is straightforward to navigate with clear organization throughout. Plan to spend at least two hours to comfortably view all floors and exhibitions without rushing.

The collection focuses notably on Mount Tarumae and archaeological discoveries from the Yufutsu plains, showing how nature and human history are connected in this landscape. This specialization makes the museum an important place for understanding the region's geological and archaeological past.
