Japanese village

Located on the eastern bank of the Chao Phraya River, the Japanese Village features traditional structures illustrating the lifestyle of Japanese settlers in Thailand.

During the 17th century, the settlement housed between 1,000 and 1,500 Japanese residents, including merchants, mercenaries, and Christians fleeing from persecution.

The village exemplifies the fusion of Japanese and Thai architectural elements, reflecting the exchange between both cultures during the Ayutthaya period.

Visitors can reach the historic site through guided tours departing from central Ayutthaya, with regular transportation services available throughout the day.

The settlement maintained a port facility that enabled extensive trade of weapons, animal pelts, and other goods between Japan and Southeast Asian nations.
