Unlike other museums, where artefacts are kept behind glass, exhibitions here consist of replicas, handmade by members of Sapporo's Ainu community using their own family heirlooms as models. As a result, you can touch everything on display, feeling, for example, the linen-like softness of textiles made from tree bark. The strangely shaped centre is in Kogane-yu, 3km east of Jōzankei.
The Sapporo–Jōzankei bus stops at Kogane-yu (?650, 50 minutes); the museum is a short walk up from the bus stop.
