Hokuto City Hometown Museum is a museum of local history in Hokuto, Hokkaidō, Japan that came into being after the city's formation in 2006. The museum is successor to the former Ōno Town Historical Museum, which had a collection of some five thousand items with a focus on agriculture, as Ōno is where rice-farming was brought to Hokkaidō. The collection of Hokuto City Hometown Museum includes artefacts from Yafurai-date that have been designated a Prefectural Tangible Cultural Property.
In 2019, the museum held an exhibition of finds from the ninety or so Jōmon-period sites identified to date in Hokuto, including the Moheji Site: a spouted earthenware vessel with a figured design excavated at Moheji, together with fragments of a number of other vessels decorated with figures of human and non-human animals, has been designated an Important Cultural Property and is now in the collection of Tokyo National Museum.
From 2018 to 2025, the museum focused on re-examining the historical and cultural assets of Hokuto City, particularly Hekirichi Bastion Fort of Matsumae Clan, a nationally designated historic site and Japan's first Western-style star-shaped bastion fortress. The research emphasized previously overlooked aspects of the practical application of contemporary European military theory, with findings shared through special exhibitions and public lectures. Although this project has now ended due to the retirement of the researchers who dedicated themselves to it, some of its results can still be seen in the permanent exhibition.
In addition to these efforts, since 2024, a research bulletin has been launched to publish research findings, which can be accessed online via the Nara National Research Institute for Cultural Properties' repository site, "全国文化財総覧、Comprehensive Database of Cultural Heritage in Japan."

Hekirichi Bastion Fort was a fortified administrative center of the Matsumae clan during the late Edo period, located in present-day Nozaki, Hokuto City, Hokkaido.
It was the first in Japan to adopt a star-shaped bastion fort design based on European bastion-style fortification techniques and the army base selection and structure for artillery defense according to 19th-century European military theory. The name "Hekirichi" originates from the Ainu language "peker-pet" and refers to the area surrounding the Hekirichi River, which flows west of the fort.
