The Folk Village brings together 30 historic buildings typical of the Hida region, featuring the distinctive steep-roofed gassho-zukuri architecture and traditional thatched roofs, designed to withstand heavy snow. A stroll through the village gives an insight into what rural life was like here generations ago. The houses contain examples of typical farm implements and household utensils from the old days. Demonstrations and hands-on lessons of traditional crafts such as straw work, quilting and weaving are held year-round.
