Head to Boso no Mura for a unique journey through Japan's past, with about 250 different activities and faithfully recreated historic streetscapes!

Opened in 1986 and later merged with the Chiba Prefectural Boso Fudoki no Oka Museum in 2004, Boso no Mura has welcomed 8.0 million visitors from around the world. This living museum preserves and showcases Japan's cultural heritage in a way that no other facility can match. The museum complex is divided into two distinct areas. The Furusato no Waza Experience Area transports you to late Edo and early Meiji period Japan (1800s) with meticulously recreated merchant houses, samurai residences, and farmhouses. Unlike typical museums, where you simply observe, here you're encouraged to dive in and experience traditional life firsthand. Try your hand at ukiyo-e woodblock printing, weave a bamboo basket, paint papier-mâché figurines, or even harvest vegetables. Use all five senses to understand how people lived, worked, and created during this fascinating period of Japanese history.

With activities ranging from candle-making to traditional games, Boso no Mura caters to a diverse range of interests and ages. Moreover, most of the Fudoki-no-Oka Area is free to explore, making it an accessible adventure for all kinds of travelers.
