Aomori City Forestry Museum, Forestry museum in Yanakawa, Japan.

The Aomori City Forestry Museum features exhibits focused on forest ecosystems and the lumber industry within multiple dedicated rooms across the building.

The structure, originally constructed in 1908 as the Aomori Bureau of Forestry Building, underwent transformation into a natural history museum in November 1982.

The museum displays traditional woodworking tools, regional house construction methods, and worker folk songs that highlight local timber industry heritage.

Visitors can reach the museum from Aomori Station using public transportation, and the facility provides free parking for those arriving by car.

The museum houses a preserved train from former lumber railways in an adjacent building, representing the transportation methods of the local forestry industry.
