[2024 Inuyama Attraction] Travel Guide for Museum Meiji-Mura (Updated Nov)

A European-style Nagoya.

Looking for some outdoor places to stroll around, and not wanting to join a local day tour, I chose to visit Meiji Mura. It's not too convenient from the city center, so I took the Nagoya Meitetsu to Inuyama, then transferred to a bus to Meiji Mura. At Kanayama and Nagoya stations, you can buy a Meiji Mura package ticket, which includes a round-trip ticket from Nagoya Meitetsu to Meiji Mura, an admission ticket, and a one-day pass for the steam train and tram inside the park. It's cheaper than buying separately. I spent over five hours in the park, and many of the buildings are of European style. It's a great place for a photo op in Nagoya.

#nagoyatrip Be sure to schedule a full day to enjoy what this place has to offer. Bring snacks too - while there are cafes and vending machines throughout the area, it'll be easier to relax and secure your seat since there are a lot of people exploring. Especially during the weekends! I suggest to start off with the farthest site- Frank Lloyd Wright's work on the Imperial Hotel. There's a cafe inside and lots of areas to explore. From there, one can spend about 10-12p minutes per site - some would have informative tours so keep your eyes peeled for their schedules! This place isn't that friendly for wheelchair access - the toilets are far too narrow but at least they are spread along the area for people to be comfortable. Some sites are properly cared for while some have been haphazardly painted for aesthetic reasons. Still, enjoy exploring the sites authentic place ha s a lot to offer.

#wintergetaway Meiji-mura (博物館明治村, Hakubutsukan Meiji-mura, "Meiji Village Museum") is an open-air architectural museum/theme park in Inuyama, near Nagoya in Aichi prefecture, Japan. It was opened on March 18, 1965. The museum preserves historic buildings from Japan's Meiji (1867–1912), Taisho (1912–1926), and early Shōwa (1926–1989) periods. Over 60 historical buildings have been moved and reconstructed onto 1 square kilometre (250 acres) of rolling hills alongside Lake Iruka. The most noteworthy building there is the reconstructed main entrance and lobby of Frank Lloyd Wright's landmark Imperial Hotel, which originally stood in Tokyo from 1923 to 1967, when the main structure was demolished to make way for a new, larger version of the hotel. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
