5.0 based on 4 reviews
It is like entering the world of an old Japanese tale. "MOSHI MOSHI House" is one of the oldest houses in Kamijyo Village. It has been called "MOSHI MOSHI(Hello Hello) House" by the local inhabitants as it was the only place in the village where a telephone has been installed at one time. You may use "MOSHI MOSHI House" either for day trips or as accommodation.
2. The Museum Meijimura
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 494 reviews
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.

Totoro !!! We will say that we visit Nagoya because of the house. It was lovely and we brought our Totoro (bought many years ago from Hokkaido) along. The shaky pillar, the pail with a hole, the bathtub, the well...all little details like books, toys, school bag, furnitures are well taken care of. It seems like the sisters will be running around the house or laughing out in the bathtub. Even the tap is working. And we can pump water from the well. We can touch everything and open every drawer. No photos inside. The tour is conducted in Japanese. But when they know we are from Singapore, they tried to explain to us in English and hand gestures. They also helped us to take photos, with our Totoro (outside the house). It was raining and we were cold. But we simply enjoy every moment.

The new Kanazawa station, built for the coming of the Shinkansen bullet trains in 2014, is great - has every amenity you could want, and is small enough to be easily negotiated. Be sure to stop by the Tourist Information Center, staffed by knowledgeable and friendly Good Will Guides volunteers, before setting out into the city. The east entrance (shown in the picture) is a striking combination of the old and new, with the traditional wooden torii gate juxtaposed in front of the ultramodern station building; the water clock (behind the photographer) is a fun place for photos.

Just the effort that goes into keeping alive the look and feel of hundreds of year old lifestyle is amazing. Definitely worth spending time enjoying art and architecture of past

This interesting structure has been a government building since the 17th century and is now open to the public.
Reviewed By raymondmC6721ME
In use as an official government building complex from 1692 until 1969, this is the only existing building of its kind in Japan. A National Historic Site, the complex now houses a museum showcasing maps of the Hida region, historical town plans, documents of feudal lords, and the largest traditional rice storehouse in Japan. A visitor gets to see rooms that once served as guest rooms, conference rooms, office rooms, and an "interrogation" room depicting some persuasive methods. Don't miss this important place of interest where shoguns, feudal lords, government officials dealing with tax collection, policing, forest management, tax collection, and rice (tax payment) storage all contributed to its history. Go, enjoy. Please give a like if this is helpful, or you like the info. Thank you.
