Meiji Mura
Meiji Mura is an open-air architecture museum gathering more than 60 relocated buildings from the Meiji era (1868-1912), a period when Japan rapidly absorbed Western architectural styles alongside its own traditions. Highlights include part of Frank Lloyd Wright's original Imperial Hotel lobby, saved from demolition and reassembled here, along with churches, schools, and government buildings moved from across Japan.
The park is large and spread across a hillside, with a steam locomotive and tram running between sections, making it a substantial half-day or full-day visit for anyone with an interest in architecture or the Meiji period's rapid modernization.
