Hokkaido | Visit the Sacred Site of Golden Kamuy, Abashiri Prison.

The manga 'Golden Kamuy,' which has been adapted into movies and dramas, is a hot topic. I'm a big fan too, and the setting of the manga, which includes the important cultural properties of the prison cells and the central watchtower, is here at 'Abashiri Prison.' Seeing the same scenery as in the manga right before my eyes made my heart swell with emotion. Shiraishi~! I'd love to hear from fellow fans in the comments, haha. This time, I visited because of the manga, but as I took my time to go around and read the explanations, it also became an opportunity to learn about various histories. There were inhumane events and tragedies, but on top of that, there is the current Japan, Hokkaido, and our lives. 'From records to memories, in doing so, the prisoners who lost their lives might be redeemed.' These words were very heavy. The museum is spacious, rich in nature, and I even saw Ezo squirrels running around. And if you come here, you must visit the 'Prison Cafeteria.' You can eat meals that are recreated from what was actually served at Abashiri Prison. And it was surprisingly delicious♡ Maybe because it's Hokkaido?? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Inside the Museum, Abashiri Prison 📍 1-1 Yobito, Abashiri City, Hokkaido 🕐 9:00-17:00 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
