The Akanko Ainu Kotan is one of the largest Ainu kotan (settlements) in Hokkaido, inhabited by about 120 people.
It is a place where Ainu culture is shared through the experience of interacting, making, eating, inheriting, unleashing and living with nature, based on the Ainu belief that souls reside in all things.
Here you can experience the culture and history of the Ainu, who live in harmony with Hokkaido’s magnificent nature and have developed a rich and profound spirituality.
