Important
When in Rome, do as the Romans do
The village is open to the public, a true open-air museum. Nonetheless, there are also homes and private properties. Please be careful using good manners and common sense for adults and children. Often inaccessible areas are not explicitly marked. Please be careful where you walk and do not litter as well. Waste in Japan is your responsibility, that is why you are not going to find any waste bins around. Collaborate with the guide in maintaining public nuisance and respect for the village in general.
