The Ainu Museum (Porotokotan)
Come, let me bring you to our next destination, The Ainu Museum!
"Ainu" is originally an Ainu word meaning, "Human". The Ainu, the indigenous people of Hokkaido with their own culture and language, had lived in Hokkaido, the northern part of Japan's Tohoku region, Southern Sakhalin and Chishima Island before those areas were developed by Japanese and Russian settlers.
The Ainu settlement, which originally in Shiraoi's urban district, was moved and restored at the shores of Lake Poroto in 1965 to form this outdoor museum to preserve and exhibit the Ainu's cultural assets. The facilities include five cises (a thatched house), a museum, a botanical garden and an animal barn. This museum is popularly known as Porotokotan, which means a large lakeside village.
