The Historical Village of Hokkaido is an open-air museum in Sapporo that beautifully preserves the island’s past. Spread across a vast landscape, the village recreates everyday life from the Meiji to early Showa periods, featuring over 50 relocated and reconstructed buildings — from merchant houses and farmhouses to schools, stables, and even a classic railway station. Strolling through its streets feels like time travel, as each corner reveals how pioneers once lived, worked, and adapted to Hokkaido’s harsh but captivating environment.
In winter, the village transforms into a snowy wonderland, where horse-drawn sleighs glide through the powdery paths, while in summer, the green fields and wooden structures come alive under bright skies. The authenticity of the village — with its well-preserved architecture and hands-on exhibits — makes it not just a museum, but a living storybook of Hokkaido’s history.
Whether you’re a history lover, a photographer, or simply curious about Japan’s northern frontier, the Historical Village of Hokkaido offers a peaceful, immersive glimpse into a bygone era — a place where nostalgia and nature meet in perfect harmony.
