Okamoto-Minka-En. 岡本民家園






I went to "Okamoto-Minka-En"(岡本民家園)
It's a kinda park that made use of natural woods.
There's an old traditional Japanese farmer's house with thatched roof.
It was built at the end of the Edo period.
So,it's really really old.
You can come into the great house from the earth floor (土間).
You can relax over a cup of tea at the fireplace(囲炉裏).
You'll be able to see some old gadgets and agricultural implements.

It makes you forget the chaos of the city.
