Kotoni Tondenhei Village Site and Barracks, Military settlement site in Kotoni, Japan

The village contains restored barracks and buildings constructed in 1874 for soldiers tasked with agricultural development and regional defense responsibilities.

The Tondenhei system established in 1873 permitted samurai families to settle in Hokkaido, combining military duties with land cultivation to strengthen Japanese presence.

The architectural design of barracks incorporates traditional elements such as earthen floors, central hearths, and tatami mats within military structures.

Located near Kotoni Station on Subway Tozai Line, the historical site provides educational exhibits about early settlement patterns in northern Japan.

The settlement marks the first organized military-agricultural colony in Hokkaido, where 208 houses were initially constructed for soldier-farmers and their families.
