“Boso-no-Mura” Historic ambient in Old Chiba

I found this open air museum off my Tone River bike ride and it is a hidden gem! Great recreations of Edo towns and farms and also a vast archeological site for ancient tombs. They also feature traditional crafts for kids and adults to try for a small fee.

In order to enjoy BOSO-no-Mura & to have nice photo shots better go & visit the place on weekdays. The ambience is so unexplainable. You can image yourself in Edo period. They have rentals for ninja & yukata, you can wear them while walking along the village (replica). This is a must for people who wanted to experience old Japan. They also have tea ceremony. You can choose from 300 or 500yen course. Aside from it, they are also various activities to try like pot making, mask making, senbei making & many others. Just check their website to learn more. The general admission fee is very affordable, 300yen for the general public. For grade school only 150yen. Don’t hesitate to visit. It’s quiet huge place so I recommend a whole day visit. Food is allowed, but of course no littering. Great place for family outing and very educational as well.

Enjoyed activities and history. Well worth the train and bus ride if you have a few hours layover. We dressed up, enjoyed cold green tea and sweets (jelly with soy bean powder and black sugar) on the hot day, made chop sticks, and learned about the merging of Buddhist temples with Shinto shrines. Definitely ask Airport info desk to call ahead to check which activities are available. Took Keisei train from airport to Narita Station. Walk down the street, pass bus stop circle, go through JR Station, and down stairs to #4 bus (go passed 1-3 and curve right). Bus leaves almost every hour. Get off at Ryukakuijidal-Shako bus stop. Walk about 8 min. Signs pointing you to Boso-No-Mura.

Very good, open air museum in nature. Lots of activities. Recommend

Went here back in December 21, 2017 with Family, it was a nice experience knowing what a samurai town looks like
