The day in Meiji Village was very fulfilling. All the buildings were moved from parts of real historical buildings. The first elementary school and university in modern Japan, as well as banks, prisons, churches, hospitals, police stations, photo studios, theaters, etc., all of these prototypes of Japan's modernization were formed during this period of opening up the country and civilization. We also learned about the immigration history of Brazil and Hawaii, saw Natsume Soseki's study, and learned about the etymology of the handle rings in the tram. It is very interesting to read Japanese culture in detail [smile]
Located in the eastern suburbs of Inuyama City, this large theme park showcases the culture of the Meiji era. The Meiji era was the starting point for Japan to lift its isolation, accept Western culture, and move toward modernization. The food, clothing, housing, and transportation of modern Japanese people are all based on the Meiji era. For example, Japan's earliest modern elementary schools and universities, Japan's earliest trams and trains, Japan's earliest telegraphs, and the modern Japanese habit of eating wagyu and yakitori were all born in the Meiji era. The Meiji Mura Museum uses the architecture of the Meiji era as a medium to showcase the humanistic characteristics of the Meiji era in all aspects of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Friends who are interested in Japanese culture should not miss it. Another reminder is that Meiji Mura is very large, so you need to arrange plenty of time.
