Chiba Prefectural Boso no Mura

Flow of the course

About this spot

This is a prefectural hands-on museum right next to Sakatagaike Comprehensive Park. A townscape of merchant houses from the Edo to Meiji periods has been recreated, and walking the streets feels like moving through time. What makes it interesting is that you can go inside the buildings and see the tools and the way business was done up close. Various hands-on programmes are held depending on the day, and taking part leaves you with memories made by your own hands. With dirt streets and wooden buildings continuing on, it also photographs beautifully. During the hours when the sun is strong, going in and out of the buildings as you tour will keep you from tiring.

Tips

Closed on Mondays (the following weekday if Monday is a public holiday). Some hands-on programmes require a separate materials fee and advance application depending on the content, so check the official website before you go. The grounds are large, so comfortable shoes and drinks are essential. There are places where a pushchair is hard to move on the dirt paths.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 30 minutes. The morning, before the sun climbs high, is the easiest time to walk
