Meiji-mura博物館明治村
Meiji-mura is an open-air architectural museum located in Inuyama, Aichi, showcasing a collection of authentic buildings from Japan's Meiji (1867–1912), Taishō (1912–1926), and early Shōwa (1926–1947) periods. Over 60 historical structures have been relocated and reconstructed on 250 acres of rolling hills next to Lake Iruka. Visitors can explore these buildings, 11 of which are designated as national treasures, including the reconstructed main entrance and lobby of Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic Imperial Hotel in Tokyo (1923-1967). Meiji-mura was established on March 18, 1965.
