Obihiro Centennial City Museum offers a deep dive into the Tokachi region's story, from its prehistoric past to modern times. Exhibits feature fossils of ancient creatures that once roamed the area, dioramas of local wildlife such as cranes and deer, and displays on the indigenous Ainu people's traditions and crafts. Interactive elements make it family-friendly, and the museum's layout guides visitors through the region's geological formation, agricultural development, and cultural evolution. It's an educational stop that enriches any visit to Obihiro.
