Hida Folk Village (Hida no Sato)	# 2   of 7 most visited sights in Takayama
access  -  admission  -  hotels  -  ratings  -  tours  -  links

Hida Folk Village (Hida no Sato) is an open air museum exhibiting over 30 typical farmhouses and other traditional buildings from the Hida region, the mountainous district of Gifu Prefecture around Takayama. The museum's main attractions are a number of gassho-zukuri houses. The massive farmhouses with their steep, thatched roofs which look like praying hands ("gassho-zukuri") were moved here from the nearby Shirakawa-go region. All exhibited buildings are carefully preserved, display everyday utensils and are open to the public to explore. Last but not least, the buildings' indoor fireplaces are lit every morning, making this outstanding open air museum a treat not only for the eyes but also for the nose.
