Hida Folk Village
高山市, JP
An attractive open-air museum assembled from real buildings that effectively recreates an entire traditional mountain village. Not only can you tour the village, but artisans continue to work in many buildings; you can buy their crafts and even try your own hand at a number of activities. The archit
ectural highlights are the traditional thatched-roof ''gasshō-zukuri'' houses, built with roofs like hands in prayer to withstand the heavy snowfalls in this region. More whimsically, there is a giant ''maneki-neko'' cat outside, standing over 4m tall.
