Historical Village of Hokkaido [北海道開拓の村]

Historical Village of Hokkaido is an open-air museum which has more than 50 historical buildings of Hokkaido.

This museum opened in 1983.
The buildings and private houses from the 1880s to 1920s are reconstructed in this museum.
The period is the frontier period of Hokkaido.

The outdoor museum is about 400 meters from east to west and about 700 meters from north to south.

A rail is laid on the main street, and a horsecar for visitor is operated.
Of course, the horsecar had been operated as an important transportation in the frontier period.

In winter, horse sleigh runs in the village instead of the horsecar.
