Hakodate Jōmon Culture Center

The Hakodate Jomon Culture Center exhibits 1,200 pieces of earthenware and stoneware discovered through archaeological excavations in the Hakodate region of Hokkaido.

The center opened in October 2011 as part of the Southern Hokkaido History and Culture Foundation's initiative to preserve artifacts from the Jomon period.

The museum displays the Hollow Dogu, a clay figurine from the Chobonaino Site, which stands as the only National Treasure designated in Hokkaido.

Located within the Roadside Station Jomon Roman Minamikayabe, the center operates from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM between April and October, with adjusted hours during winter months.

Visitors can participate in educational workshops creating magatama ornaments and knitting angin, experiencing traditional techniques from the Jomon period.
