Must-Sees for Fans of Specific Characters! Check These Out if You Love the 7th Division!

The early parts of the story, which were also adapted into the movie, memorably depict the battle in Otaru between Sugimoto's group (Sugimoto, Asirpa, and Shiraishi) and the 7th Division led by Lieutenant Tsurumi. Key locations you can't miss are the "Former Takei Store Sake Brewery" and the "Former Matsuhashi Family Residence," which were the models for the 7th Division's Otaru base. Those iconic scenes with Lieutenant Tsurumi and Sugimoto will come flooding back.

There are also essential buildings for tracing the scenes of Ogata, Tanigaki, and Hijikata's faction! Additionally, you'll find models of buildings that frequently appear in scenes with Second Lieutenant Koito, Sergeant Tsukishima, Usami, and Nikaido. Be sure to explore while thinking of your favorite characters!

Gourmet Food and a Golden Kamuy Corner

Be sure to check out the Golden Kamuy corner in the hall of the Former Sapporo Station. It displays detailed information from independent research comparing the buildings with the original work, as well as signed illustrations from the author and voice actors. Starting February 14th, the exhibit will also feature the actual horse-drawn sleigh used in the movie, which was recently donated, a list of buildings used for filming, and autographs from the cast. A must-see for fans!

The cafeteria offers a menu reminiscent of the pioneer era, such as herring soba, imomochi (potato rice cakes), and the Tondenhei set meal (settler-soldier meal), so be sure to try them during your walk.

Thanks to the "Golden Kamuy effect," the number of visitors to the Historical Village of Hokkaido has been increasing in recent years. While summer is great, winter, with its beautiful snowy landscapes, is also highly recommended for a truly Hokkaido-like experience. If you plan to visit more than twice a year, the annual pass is a great deal!
