The Edwin Dun Memorial is a Western-style building characterized by its clapboard siding and a prominent gabled entryway. It was constructed in eighteen eighty as an office for a government cattle ranch, reflecting the influence of American expertise during the early development of Hokkaido. Today, the museum houses oil paintings that depict the life of Edwin Dun, an American rancher from Ohio who arrived in Japan in eighteen seventy-three to introduce livestock farming.
