Otaru, Hokkaido. Learn about the history and operations of the Bank of Japan at the Bank of Japan Former Otaru Branch Financial Museum

Otaru, Hokkaido. The area around the Bank of Japan's Otaru Branch and Financial Museum was known as the "Northern Wall Street" from the late Taisho to early Showa periods! Many materials are on display in places that are essential to the history of that period. The windows that were probably used in the past still retain their original appearance, and the atmosphere, which is different from the present, is also a good clue to the era. The exhibits are displayed in an easy-to-understand manner, and some items are displayed using models. There are also exhibits of equipment that was actually used. Of course, you can see a large safe. There was also an exhibition of the new banknotes that are scheduled to be issued in the first half of July 2024 (photography prohibited)😊 There is also a corner where you can experience the weight of 100 million yen, so please try it out☺️ Admission to the museum is free. 550m to JR "Otaru Station" "Bank of Japan Former Otaru Branch and Financial Museum" 1-11-16 Ironai, Otaru, Hokkaido 047-0031 #Hokkaido #Otaru #Museum #HokkaidoTrip #OtaruTrip #OtaruTourism #HokkaidoTourism
