The Historic Village of Hokkaido (�J��̑�, Kaitaku no Mura) is an open air museum in the suburbs of Sapporo. It exhibits about 60 typical buildings from all over Hokkaido, dating from the Meiji and Taisho Periods (1868 to 1926), the era when Hokkaido's development was carried out on a large scale. There are four different sections: a town, fishing village, farm village and a mountain village.

The Hokkaido Museum (�k�C��, Hokkaido Hakubutsukan) documents the history and nature of Hokkaido and is located about a ten minute walk from the open air museum. The museum focuses on five main themes, including Ainu culture, history and wildlife.

The Historic Village of Hokkaido is located in the Nopporo Forest Park outside of central Sapporo. From Sapporo Station, take a local train to Shinrin Koen Station (15 minutes, 360 yen, frequent departures) from where the museum and open air museum can be reached in a short bus ride (5-10 minutes, 240 yen, 1-2 buses per hour) or a 20-30 minute walk. Get off at Hokkaidō Hakubutsukan (�k�C��) for the museum or Kaitaku no mura (�J��̑�) for the open-air museum. Alternatively, you can board the same bus from Shin-Sapporo Station, which adds ten minutes to the bus ride. The buses are bound for Kaitaku no mura (�J��̑�).
