What other travelers are saying about Hida Folk Village (Hida no Sato)
A very nice open air museum in Takayama. You can see a lot old and traditional houses. The good thing is also, that you can do activities and courses in this museum.
When we arrived we saw also staff harvesting rice. That was very unique and we where lucky. Recommendation from me. It’s also close from the center.
The price is 700 Yen per person, I think it’s totally fine.
I loved this museum! For the entrance fee, you get to walk and explore close to a dozen different buildings that were moved here from different places around the region. The place is quite large and you get a good view of the mountains from up the hill. There are also crafts people that you can view working on their products. Overall, great experience and highly recommend.
I didn’t expect it but I loved it. It’s really well conserved and you can walk around quietly as it is not crowded as other places such as shirakawago. You can follow the route and visit different spots which have a short explanation and you can imagine the life in the village centuries ago. next to the pond you have a lot of quizes to have fun with.
Very interesting and varied with explanations in both Japanese and English. Take your time to explore inside each house and get to know the life of its inhabitants. Allow 2 or 3 hours to see everything. There is a bus from the town centre - no need to book a tour. Credit cards are not accepted.
For those who love nature and history, this is a 'go to' place when you visit Takayama. They also offer a free rent of boots and umbrella in case you need it, since the venue is a little bit muddy in rain weather.
They also has a venue where you can try folk games. Also there are souvenir shop where you can buy things
