An interesting museum where one can learn about Hida’s majestic carpentry history. Set tickets at ¥800 can be bought, together with the nearby matsuri kaikan (recommended!). 🔨 Wooden blocks can be played with, audio sets can be borrowed, the third floor is tatami where one can rest while looking through the window with a nice view. 🌊 Ghibli stuff can also be seen!

Truly insightful display of local woodcrafts. Very educational about the Hida area structures and comparison with our current build processes.

A well curated museum that gives a wonderful insight into the famous local carpentry techniques. The friendly tour guide was fabulous and talked us through the intricacies of the joinery techniques. Perfect place to take kids too. Very reasonably priced at ¥300 with free audio tours

The only museum I visit in furukawa. Place around muesum is enjoyable. For a non-wood craft addict this museum won't be special

Lots of crafty wooden puzzles in the museum for you to solve.

Good educational value. Gives you an insight into what degree of wood work craftsmanship that goes into creating all the masterpieces (castles, temples and shrines) all over Japan. Definitely gave me a new sense of appreciation for the architecture.

Hida no Takumi, the mighty carpenters of Japan! Their presence endure since more than 1300 years! Since the old days they helped the country building temples Shrines wealthy merchants houses specific tools and more! What makes they great is the fact that they can built buildings, structures with plane wood only, no screws no metal just "Interlocks". This great hard workers where committed especially during the Edo period to work all around Japan for 360 day a year! In exchange the city of Takayama where exempt from some taxes...Hida no Takumi are still active now days, so why don't you come with me and pay them a visit? Highly recommended museum with a lot of samples and english audio explanations, great place and oh, shoes off of course! Amico del solevante local guide in Takayama and around

A museum dedicated to the local craftsmanship. The building itself was constructed using traditional techniques without using nails.

A good place to understand history of their wood craft, design, and principles of jointing. The museum has 2 levels of displays. You can experimenting disassemble and fixing the wood products there. It’s fun! The staff was helpful in bringing us around and sharing the knowledge and history.

We were the only people in the museum, and we got a personal tour from the man at the desk. Totally recommend for those interested in a bit of Japanese joinery, and in general is just a fun time.
