Tsukigata Kabato Museum

The Tsukigata Kabato Museum (Imprisonment Museum) exhibits and displays the 39-year historical materials of "Kabato-Shujikan(prison) " (1822-1919).
In 1919, Kabato Shujikan was closed, but it was being used as Tsukigata-mura Village Hall up to 1973.
As Tsukigata-cho Town Hall moved out to a new building in 1973, Old Kabato Shujikan was newly renovated as "Hokkaido Gyokei Shiryokan", and in 1996, the name changed to "Tsukigata Kabato Museum".
