Otaru City Museum Main Pavilion
Otaru Travel Guide 2023
The BEST Things to Do in Otaru, Japan｜Otaru Day Trip
The Otaru City Museum has two facilities: the Main Museum Pavilion and the Canal Pavilion; the two facilities are about a 20-minute walk apart. The Main Museum was newly opened in July 2007, integrating the functions of the Museum and the Youth Science and Technology Museum in the former Otaru Transportation Memorial Hall located in Temiya. At the same time, the former museum, located in the "Former Otaru Warehouse" along the Otaru Canal, was renamed the Unga-kan.
Located in Temiya, the birthplace of Hokkaido's railroad system, the main building houses 50 of Hokkaido's most famous railroad cars, including the steam locomotive Shizuka. During the summer, the 1909 American-made steam locomotive "Iron Horse" operates outdoors, offering free rides. The museum offers a variety of activities based on the themes of Otaru City's history and nature, Hokkaido's transportation history, and science and technology.
