Seikan Tunnel Museum

"Fukushima Town Seikan Tunnel Memorial Museum" is located along National Route 228. There are JAF discounts, but the best deal is the set ticket (700 yen for adults) that includes the Yokozuna Chiyonoyama/Chiyonofuji Memorial Hall, which is a few hundred meters away. Although it is smaller and more compact than the Seikan Tunnel Memorial Museum on the Aomori side, the materials are displayed in an easy-to-understand manner and I learned a lot. It was built to Shinkansen standards from the planning stage, and the sight of the Hokkaido Shinkansen passing through it today must have had a lot to do with the thoughts of those involved in its construction at the time.
