The Kusakabe Folk Museum in Hida Takayama, owned by the same family for 13 generations, offers a vivid glimpse into life during the Edo period. Constructed in the late 19th century after a fire destroyed the original Edo-period home, this two-story structure was meticulously designed to replicate the style of its predecessor. Visitors can explore the well-preserved interior, which features traditional architecture and furnishings, providing a tangible connection to Japan’s rich historical past.
