The museum introduces the mysterious Okhotsk culture through exhibits on housing, graves, and shell mounds, and its highlight is the cemetery exhibition room where excavated tombs are preserved and displayed in place. This visit adds a deeper historical layer to the tour, showing that Abashiri’s story began long before the modern prison era.
