May 19 Open Air Folk House Museum 日本民家園


We went to Open Air Folk House Museum on May 19.

In Japan Open Air Folk House Museum old folk houses are on display on the gentle slopes of Tama hills. The houses are arranged in five areas according to their original location; ‘Post Town’, ‘Village in Shin-etsu’ district, ‘Village in Kanto’district, ‘Village in Kanagawa’ area, and ‘Village in Tohoku’ district. On your route, you’ll find the stone objects such as Do-so-jin on the path, and also find the daily necessities such as agricultural implements inside the folk houses.

It was amazing to see all those folk houses were moved from their original locations (which are all over Japan) and gathered here!  They kept them well-maintained and it was really neat to see the way of life back then!  The museum is in the beautiful forest and we all felt like we slipped into "Totoro" (Miyazaki Hayao's movie) world!  Such a beautiful season with vivid green and warm sun!
