The museum holds about 100,000 items, including living materials provided by citizens, as well as literature, archeological and geological materials. It is not only an exhibition of local historical materials, but also an experience learning facility that is familiar with the nature and culture of the northern country. Taking advantage of the environment surrounded by the primeval forest of the surrounding mizunara, you can observe the nature and wild birds of the four seasons, and also experience such as tanjiki and snowshoe experience. In front of the museum, the SL snow-draining train "Kimaroki", which was active in snow-removal work after heavy snow falls, is kept on an outdoor display, and it is only here in the country that the full formation is left. * Tour of SL snow-draining trains is not possible from mid-October to late April in winter.
