A must-stop when visiting Miyama village, and best paired with a small group tour guide that can be arranged with the tourism association by the main road just next to the carpark, which has to be booked and arranged online. We benefited greatly with in-depth explanations of the artefacts on display and even had a brief lesson on how the thatched roofs are being repaired even up to this day!

For 2$ it’s worth the visit to see the interior construction of these thatched houses.

The museum itself is a traditional thatched roof house located within the village. There's a small entry fee to explore the traditional home, which contains household items from a bygone era.

Beautiful haven for off the beaten track tourists. Authentic displays of thatched houses and contents from yesteryear. Lovely outdoor cafe looking out over the valley.

Nice showroom of olden days thatched house. Reception lady is inflexible. We stepped out of the entrance for less than 30 seconds and 2 metres away from the entrance. We want to return inside the house as we had missed out a section of the house. We were disallowed and asked to buy another 300JPY tickets to re-enter again. Totally inflexible!
