阿伊努族村落 / Ainu Village

阿伊努族村落（位於阿寒湖溫泉）是北海道最大的阿伊努族聚落。在那裡聚集了販賣阿伊努族民藝品的商店。每個人都可以自由出入這個聚落。在入口處有裝飾著村落守護神的巨大貓頭鷹雕像的拱門。此外，也有以阿伊努語標示「Chise」，意謂著「家」的小屋，也有這種可以免費進入參觀的建築物。

Ainu Village (Akan Hot Springs) is one of the biggest Ainu communities in Hokkaido. Ainu are the indigenous people of Hokkaido. In the village, there are many souvenir shops to sell Ainu folk handicraft and accessories. Anyone can visit and enter the village for free - there is a big gate which displays big owl objects. Shima Fukurou, Blakiston’s fish owl in English, is worshiped as the Ainu's guardian. Not only many shops but also traditional Ainu houses, which are called 'chise' in their language, are there. Some 'chise' houses are ok to enter for free. Some kindly ask for a donation from visitors.
