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.

Japan Monkey Centre: Museum and Zoo for Nonhuman Primates

Our Mission: “A Window to Nature”. The Japan Monkey Centre (JMC) runs a unique zoo housing the world’s largest number of nonhuman primate species and attracts visitors from all over the world. Led by Kyoto University professors, JMC promotes research, education, conservation, welfare, and outreach for primates. One of the must-see exhibits at the JMC is Japanese macaques (also known as snow monkeys) at the Monkey Valley. They show the behavior of washing sweet potatoes and other food in a pond. You may also see other interesting behaviors like Saru-dango (monkey dumpling), tool use, and noise making with stones. In winter, they warm themselves by a real bonfire, which became well-known and cherished attraction of JMC. Other star attractions are "Wao Land" where you can enjoy a close encounter with free-ranging ring-tailed lemurs and "Monkey Scramble" where you can watch siamangs brachiating at a height of 15 meter.
