#Abashiri Prison Museum Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Abashiri Prison | If you want to eat prison food, please experience
Travel thousands of miles to the northeastern corner of Hokkaido - Abashiri, just to eat a meal of prison food ! As a result, I found that the prison canteen has moved from the prison to the outside of the prison gate, this 900 yen prison meal is not authentic , but the taste is still good (Figure 4)!
During the Meiji period, in order to resist Russia's southward search for a non-freezing port, the government decided to rapidly develop Hokkaido. Using the prisoners sent to Abashiri Prison to build roads became a "masterstroke": saving costs by working, and saving expenses when they died! As a result, 1115 prisoners worked for 8 months, built 228 kilometers of roads, and 211 people died.
The cold and hard Abashiri Prison has created many prison break kings, among which Torakichi escaped three times, and the last time he was caught back after being pierced by a 5-inch nail, he was later called "Five-inch nail Torakichi" (Figure 7).
Because the Abashiri prison break incidents are frequently reported in the media, it has attracted public attention and finally forced the authorities to improve the treatment of prisoners in Japanese prisons.
⏳Play time: 3 hours

Embark on the most primitive journey in Hokkaido to explore unknown territories
❄️When it comes to Hokkaido, people always think of powder snow, hot springs, and colorful lights.🌲However, in the World Heritage Shiretoko Peninsula, Akan Mashu National Park and Kushiro Wetland in the east of Hokkaido, the tranquility and primitiveness covered by the original forest are the real charm of Hokkaido.

There are wooden puppets, bathrooms, single cells, and teaching rooms. He used to be the "Japanese jailbreak king", the white bird Yurong, who is the most legendary prisoner in Japan. Transportation: There is a tourist ring bus in front of the station, half an hour, from the station to the icebreaker dock, then to the net walking prison, all the way, if you want to catch a boat, be sure to watch the time!
