Museum Meiji-Mura — Attraction in Inuyama

An open educational cultural museum about Japan during the Meiji period. It includes a lot of places to discover, learn more about Japan history, education, medical, culture, and industrial development. Visitors can collect stamps from different locations to enjoy discovering all the hidden places and clues around the place. Visitors can also experience riding in the Meiji period transportation such as trains and buses. Enjoy the beautiful scenery around the place and learn many things about Japan. There is a special location for Natsume Soseki "I am a cat" book. The government buildings and historical events, different churches, festival locations, also there was a detective style game where visitors can try finding the hints to solve the mystery. Unfortunately, most of the information is provided in Japanese, there are some locations that offer English also. There are few shops that sell food, but it was very crowded during my visit. Also, there are a number of different souvenir shops that offer various items based on the location of the shop. The museum is very huge and it was not possible to visit all the five locations at one visit, it definitely deserves a second visit. There are few locations that anime fans might find interesting which is the hospital that Tanjiro from kimetsu was taken to, and the road in the train which somehow is similar to Chihiro trip in the train in a spirited away movie. Most of the activities finish around 3:30 and 4:00 on normal days so it is better to check the times of the event ahead to not miss anything. Sometimes the staff and guides around the museum will accompany the visitors to check specific locations and will explain about those locations which cannot be accessed without the...

Nice concept. However, things are not old enough. Many are from the mid 1900s. Nice park. Not sure why things are arranged as is. The museum is adjacent to a lake (reservoir), but no access to the lake. My favorite is the Imperial Hotel, and old buildings like the Snail House, Zagyo-so, ... I went up to the Lookout Tower (of the bank), but what a shame. Sew nothing from up there. Blocked by dirty glass.

Some Manga characters in large card board are standing in the lawn here and there. I really don't like these. They block the view.

It takes an effort to get there (train + bus) about an hour each way, and 25000 entrance fee is not cheap. I bought a ticket package (including transportation and entrance for 49000, plus some coupons that I cannot read). I thought I could just enter the park. But I was told to line up at the ticket office to exchange for a real entrance ticket. Why? My combination ticket also allows me to take one of these 3 modes of transportation inside the park: bus, steam train, cable car. The building are arranged in a way that none of these 3 are useful. Walking is the most sensible. Buying ticket online requires local phone# and reading Japanese. But can save you time queuing up at the ticket office. I visited on a Friday, so not a long line. Because of the high hope (recommended by friend), and the effort to visit this museum, it didn't meet my high...

Inarguably, and beyond the category of “nice theme parks”, The Museum Meiji-Mura is simply a place worth going to. There are loads of great and grand, and also brilliant but common and disappearing historical buildings and architectures and some sharp-cut views of old but actually existed Japan. The village staff plays their role in each building and facility like old shop clerk, police constable or train conductor. This is 3rd largest independent and active theme park in Japan following to Huis Ten Bosch in Nagasaki and The neighbouring Little World having 5 categorised areas, so either you get 2 to 3 day holidays to explore them all or scramble your points of interest by using the in-park “modern” means of transportation like 100-year old locomotive and tram which are also the living exhibits of Meuji-Mura. The bus runs no faster than 10km/h here. FYI, I put up some 20 pictures and videos here but they cover only 1 and a half area or less. You'll need to buy tickets to get in them besides the Y2k entrance fee, so you're recommended to buy a one-day combined ticket Y3.3k. For me, no words can fully describe the attractiveness and beauty, needless to mention about its great significance to society and mankind, so, please just visit there once,...
