Abashiri Prison Museum is by far one of the most interesting sights in Hokkaido. It was constructed in the 1890s to hold over 1,000 dangerous criminals; think of it as Japan's Alcatraz.

Very few prisoners ever escaped or even tried to escape because of Hokkaido's isolation and brutal winters. Where could they go with no food or clothing even though conditions inside the prison were not the best?

A modern prison still functions in Abashiri a few miles away but these are the original buildings.
