    The essential museum to learn about the Hokuchin (7th Division of Imperial Army, 2th Division of JGSDF) or Japan's defenders of the north. Free entry.

    I visited Asahikawa and the North to know the history. Self-defense officers can explain. I asked you to take 30 minutes. I didn't have enough time to explain all the exhibits, so I just listened to them. I should have done it in an hour.
