Historical Village of Hokkaido: Explore the Lost World of Colonial Hokkaido

The Historical Village of Hokkaido (Kaitaku no Mura) is an open-air museum featuring a collection of restored buildings from Hokkaido’s colonial era in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Besides a reproduction of a city street, this museum also includes rare examples of the farm, fishing, and mountain villages that have been recreated to teach you about the lifestyle, culture, and industries of more rural locations during the Meiji (1868-1912) and Taisho eras (1912-1926). Explore the Historical Village in a horse-drawn carriage in the summer or on a horse-drawn sleigh in winter for extra realism! Regardless of which season you visit, this fascinating museum is sure to surprise and enchant you with its wealth of information and scenic natural landscapes.
