This place is written as [二風谷ダムと沙流川歴史館] in Japanese.
Nibutani Dam is situated in Nibutani, Biratori Town. The dam has a controversial history surrounding its construction.
Nibutani holds significant spiritual importance for the Ainu people, and the construction of Nibutani Dam threatened to cover their sacred land. Consequently, both Ainu and other Japanese people opposed the dam project to preserve this sacred place.
The museum showcases the history and impact of Nibutani Dam.
Visitors can rent bicycles for free at the museum to explore the dam area, museums, and craft shops.
