Hida Folk Village, Open-air folk museum in Takayama, Japan
The museum displays 30 traditional farmhouses with steep thatched roofs, arranged around a central pond to represent a mountain village setting.
The collection of farmhouses, dating from the Edo Period between 1603 and 1868, was relocated to this site for preservation in 1959.
Inside each farmhouse, traditional tools, furniture, and daily objects demonstrate the living conditions of farmers in the Japanese Alps region.
The museum opens daily from 8:30 to 17:00, with direct bus connections from Takayama Station running every 30 minutes during operating hours.
Morning fires are lit inside the farmhouses, creating authentic smoke patterns through the thatched roofs while maintaining traditional preservation methods.
