Have fun learning about the architecture of the Meiji and Taisho eras! “Museum Meiji Mura” | Inuyama City, Aichi

​Museum Meiji Mura" is located in Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture. It is an open-air museum where famous buildings mainly from the Meiji Era, Taisho Era, and early Showa Era have been relocated and preserved.

The founding of Meiji Mura began with the desire to somehow save modern architecture that was destined for demolition. Without this facility, both the Imperial Hotel and Natsume Soseki's house would have been demolished. When relocating a building, they carefully dismantle each piece one by one, numbering the parts, transporting them, and rebuilding them. That's why Meiji Mura is a place where valuable Meiji buildings are passed down to future generations.

It's full of attractions that the whole family can enjoy, such as the Meiji period vehicle experience, the stylish costume museum, and Meiji gourmet food!

“Flarie” is located at the southernmost end of Hisaya Odori Garden. On September 27, 2014, it was reopened from the "orchid house". This is a little-known spot where you can enjoy a full-fledged garden all year round, even though it is free.

The name "Flarie" is a coined word of "Furari" (casually/drop-in) + "Flower" + "Atelier", meaning "an atelier full of flowers where you can stop by casually". As the name suggests, it is an oasis in the city where you can forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
