This outdoor museum has restored buildings from the Meiji era (1868 – 1912) and the Taisho era (1912 – 1926), from various regions of Hokkaido. They stand in verdant Nopporo Forest Park.

Its 54.2 ha is divided into 4 zones: residential, agricultural, mountainous and fishing. Sapporo Station, the head office of Otaru Shimbun Press, shops and households are restored in a historical streetscape.

A horse tram runs through the village. In winter, the horse pulls a sled. Experience the Hokkaido winter by riding a horse sled. Seasonal events allow visitors to experience the lifestyle of Hokkaido’s frontier days.
