Otaru City General Museum
A Must-See! Enjoy a Variety of Vehicles
This museum preserves and exhibits impressive real steam locomotives and vehicles. It also has a wealth of railway-related materials, allowing visitors to learn about the history of railways in Hokkaido. In addition to well-equipped facilities like a planetarium with a dome screen and a science exhibition room, there are fun activities such as experiments and crafts on holidays, and a summer-only SL ride experience. The old Temiya railway facilities (including Locomotive Shed No. 3) are designated as important cultural properties by the national government.
