Japan Open-Air Folk House Museum
NIHON MINKA-EN

The Japan open-air folk House Museum was opened in 1967 in order to preserve for ever those houses which are now rapidly disappearing. At the museum, you can see 25 houses including a water mill, a boatman's house, a high warehouse and a stage for Kabuki plays, as well as characteristic private houses of Eastern Japan. Eighteen of the museum's houses are recognized as important cultural property by the nation and various prefectures. In the exhibition room you can also learn more about these houses.


 


*The exhibition "Living in the Snow" - the northern regions seen in Kawasaki - is being held until May 27.
