Invitation to the Japan Open Air Folk House Museum in Kawasaki City

This Museum shows over 20 Japanese traditional folk houses relocated from all over the

country.  All of these were restored by traditional carpenters using the traditional materials

and tools. You will have full realization of the life of Japanese country folk in old days.

The Museum grounds are situated in the very beautiful hillside, and we can enjoy the hiking

in the forest.

After Museum, we will drop in a coffee shop nearby the railway station and enjoy a small 

sociable.

The applications of the first 10 students and 10 volunteers will be accepted. Please send a 

mail to 【hiro@konamike.net】 by the end of June.
