Historical Village of
Hokkaido (Kaitaku-No Mura)
This open-air museum contains
no less than 60 historical Japanese and Western-style
buildings, dating mostly from the Meiji and Taisho eras,
including homes, farmhouses, a shrine, a church, a newspaper
office, a post office (from which you can mail a letter), a
police box (manned by a sword-wielding police officer), and
many small businesses, including a blacksmith, brewery,
barbershop, grocery, inn, and sleigh factory - everything
accurately represented as how they would have looked like in
the past. There's even an old-fashioned playground with
stilts and a see-saw.
