[Hokkaido] A rare prison museum! Introducing the Abashiri Prison Museum

The Abashiri Prison Museum in Abashiri City, Hokkaido, is a preserved real prison that has been in use since the Meiji era, and you can visit the former Abashiri Prison, which was known for its extremely cold interior and harsh prison sentences. 🥶

The many dolls of prisoners and guards are very realistic, and you can understand the harsh environment at that time.

The main attraction is the radially extending cells to make it easier for the guards to keep an eye on them. Some prisoners managed to escape from Abashiri Prison by evading the strict security, and there are interesting exhibits such as dolls of prisoners escaping, which can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. ⭐️

For lunch, we recommend the "Prison Restaurant" attached to the Abashiri Prison Museum. 🍚
You can eat the same food as the current prisoners, and it has a reputation for being quite delicious. In fact, the hokke I ordered was very delicious with just the right amount of fat, and I was impressed that I could enjoy Hokkaido's delicious seafood gourmet even in a prison. ✨
