TIP: After your visit to the museum, find the stairs that will lead you up to the Masugatayama Obervatory to get great view of the area. You should be able to find a bit to the right (East) of the museum entrance.
PERSONAL THOUGHTS:
★★★☆☆
Incredible open-air museum with a lot of different houses. If you have the chance, definitely join one of the guided (Japanese) tours. It may sounds tiresome, but it's really incredible how many details you miss without someone pointing them out. Thanks to our guide I've seen and learned a lot more than I would have done by myself! But even without a guide this open-air museum is worth visiting! It's really nice to see these houses from the in- and outside.
