Hida Minzoka Mura Folk Village (Hida no Sato)

Authentic homes moved from a nearby valley and preserved intact make this attraction a very special "open air museum."

Coming from Australia snow is a real treat. When we went to the Folk Village on New Years Day it was thick with powdery snow. We could still walk around as the sky was clear and blue. The water wheel was iced over and the thatched roofs had a foot of white powder. I was glad it was open however some of the areas such as the 500 year old hilltop castle were closed due to safety reasons.

Shirakawago Gassho Zukuri Minkaen

Reviewed By Triflyer - India, null

Not to be missed, only regret is that we did not stay back there for the night. We did a day trip by Nohi bus on our way from Kanazawa to Takayama. We took the first bus out from Kanazawa, deposited luggage at the luggage counter behind Nohi bus station office and went on a walking tour around Shirakawa go. Loved in particular the trek up hill and also the one over the bridge on to the waterfalls and the other part of the town. We enjoyed matcha ice cream and food in the small shops along the way. We also visited a small museum which was quite interesting. Delightful place with lovely autumn leaves, beautiful thatched roof houses.

The Museum Meijimura

Beautifully located on a hillside facing Lake Iruka, it occupies an area of 1,000,000m2, where currently over sixty Meiji buildings have been brought and rebuilt. On display inside the buildings are furniture and other items of interst, objects of reference related to the respective buildings, and temporary exhibitions of historic materials as occasions call. The Meiji-mura offers the Japanese people a place of social education, where they can discover and have first-hand contact with the form and spirit of the Meiji period. We also believe that the Meiji-mura, as an evidence of East-West cultural exchange, can be helpful to enhance mutual understanding between the peoples of Japan and other countries of the world.

The museum can be reach by taking a bus from Inuyama Station. The bus from the station to the museum takes about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the traffic. This is the last stop of the line. From there, you'll be needing to pay for the entrance fee in order to go inside the large open museum! You can try discount tickets/ promos Meitetsu is offering. The open area is composed of different establishment during the Meiji period comprising of schools, churches, offices, shops, and even real life stream trains. When you are inside, you can really feel the industrial era of Japan! Be sure to allocate a lot of time if you wanted to really appreciate all the structures inside.
