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.

Satsuki and Mei's House

Reviewed By Lily2411 - Singapore, Singapore

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.

Takayama Jinya

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.

Yoshijima Heritage House

Reviewed By 31hartonot - Medan, Indonesia

Almost everybody come to Takayama just for the old town lane, and you will expect the crowds especially at morning and afternoon time. Almost a long queue in the food area and the old houses there are well preserved and you can experience the Japan golden time with the ninjas. Staying one or two nights at Takayama is a best option especially to enjoy the calmness and quietness after dark as this is a small city and no rush. Hotels are located at Takayama Station and the old town square is just 5 minutes walk.
