Nihon Minka-En

Visit the Nihon Minka-En, or "Japan Open-Air Folk House Museum".

Set to the song "For You I Do" by Dave McDaid, used with permission.

The Minka-En is a park featuring old Japanese villages and traditional houses and buildings, which have been relocated from all over Japan in an effort to preserve and protect Japan's cultural heritage.

It is in Tama Ward in Kawasaki City, 12 minutes walk from Mukogaoka-yuen station on the Odakyu Line.
