This open-air museum displays buildings of high cultural value from the Edo through to the early Showa-eras. Thirty buildings from these eras that were difficult to maintain in their original location despite their high cultural value have been relocated, rebuilt, and are now exhibited here. The nostalgic buildings lined up outdoors creates a feeling of having traveled back in time.

A World of Ghibli's "Spirited Away"

This museum has many buildings that served as models of the characteristic townscapes and bizarre buildings of Hayao Miyazaki's Ghibli film "Spirited Away," such as the bathhouse, the soy sauce store, and the inn.
