Traveler highlights
What makes the Open-Air Museum of Old Japanese Farmhouses special is that, rather than displaying replicas of houses from different regions, it relocates the original buildings to Hattori Ryokuchi in Toyonaka, Osaka, and exhibits them together after restoration. Opened in 1956, it was Japan’s first open-air museum. Its grounds feature 11 farmhouses built between the 17th and 19th centuries, brought from locations ranging from Iwate Prefecture to Amami Oshima in Kagoshima Prefecture. As you explore, you can take a close look at the roofs, building materials and layouts of the different houses…
