Nihon Minka-en, Open-air folk house museum in Tama Ward, Japan.

The museum grounds contain 25 traditional buildings from different regions of Japan, featuring farmhouses, merchant houses, and fishing village structures.

Each building dates from the Edo Period and was carefully dismantled from its original location, transported, and reconstructed at the museum site.

The museum offers regular demonstrations of traditional crafts, including indigo dyeing workshops where visitors create their own textile pieces.

The museum opens daily from 9:30 to 16:30, with access through a 15-minute walk from Mukogaoka Yuen Station on the Odakyu Odawara Line.

Visitors can taste traditional soba noodles prepared fresh inside one of the authentic farmhouses that serves as a functioning restaurant.
