    This living folk culture museum opened in 1980. The former villa of a wealthy farming family has been reproduced here, with the rear house, main house, and a bamboo house featuring a thatched-roof with wooden construction. The Asuke Mansion reproduces handmade items that were a part of mountain life in the region, among them charcoal brazier cooking, traditional paper making, and weaving. Ten different handicrafts are demonstrated before your eyes by skilled artisans—some you can even try for yourself!

    Enjoy an array of hands-on activities!!
