Temiya Cave, a nationally designated historic site, 

is located right next to the Otaru Museum.  

Cave carvings from the post-Jomon period about 

1600 years ago are preserved. 

(The post-Jomon period used mainly in Hokkaido refers 

to the Yayoi to Kofun period in mainland Japan.) 

Cave carvings from this period can only be seen in 

Otaru's Temiya Cave and Yoichi's Fugoppe.
