The Hokujin Memorial Hall is a museum that systematically introduces the history of Hokkaido's development and national defense, from the Tunta soldiers to the modern Army and Self-Defense Forces.

Exhibits on the formation of divisions and the changes in equipment, the Russo-Japanese War, and the dispatch of troops to Siberia are valuable contents that connect regional history with modern and contemporary Japan's history. Through models, panels, and videos, you can also experience the life and training of the time, making it ideal for history fans as well as students to learn. Visiting the monuments and related facilities outside the museum will further deepen your understanding, and it is convenient to walk around the city in combination with the surrounding Joban Park and Museum area.
