Asahikawa City Museum旭川市博物館

The city museum is inside Taisetsu Crystal Hall, close to the roadside station. The Hokkaido Government’s Ainu culture guide lists it as one of its Ainu culture facilities.^{⁠[36][8][71]}

Its treasures include the manuscript notebooks of Chiri Yukie, the young Ainu writer of Ainu Shin’yōshū, and a warabite-tō, an early curved sword. Both are city-designated cultural properties.^⁠[4][37]

The museum put up the city’s first Ainu place-name sign in 2003. It runs the Denshō no Kotan in Arashiyama Park and organizes the Ainu Culture Festival in September (19–22 September in 2026).^{⁠[13][39][36]}
