Sunglasses Buddha, Aichi Prefecture, Japan Red sunglasses are so cool. "The trendiest Buddha in history." Address: In Aichi Prefecture, sunglasses refer to the traffic lights at the railway crossing Under a specific angle, the big Buddha in the distance really seems to be wearing a pair of glasses, forming the spectacle of the "big Buddha with sunglasses". So the locals still affectionately call it "Sunglasses Buddha". [Chin] Because the location of the photo is on the ordinary level crossing near the Big Buddha, next to the road, please pay attention to safety when taking pictures ~ The Great Buddha is the largest Buddha statue owned by an individual.

#FuriTabi Meiji Mura, located in Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture, is a theme park where modern architecture from all over Japan has been relocated. You can see buildings like the ones in the photo.

If you want to see every corner, make sure you have plenty of time. All of these photos are of buildings inside the park! Highly recommended for those who like beautiful buildings like this! There is also a souvenir shop. It's near the entrance and exit, so it's easy to find! The croquettes at the shop near the Imperial Hotel in the fourth photo are delicious, so be sure to try them.

From Inuyama Station (about 30 minutes by Meitetsu from Nagoya Station), take bus No. 2 directly to Meiji Mura. The park is quite large, so it is recommended to set aside at least half a day or more to walk around the park. The museum dismantled some historically significant buildings from Japan and overseas, and restored each building in Meiji Village. So even though the location has changed, you can still see the original appearance, and even some of them can be visited inside. There are restaurants and shops in the park. #Meiji Village #NagoyaFreeTravel #Inuyama City #JapanTravel

Looking for some outdoor places to stroll around, and not wanting to join a local day tour, I chose to visit Meiji Mura. It's not too convenient from the city center, so I took the Nagoya Meitetsu to Inuyama, then transferred to a bus to Meiji Mura. At Kanayama and Nagoya stations, you can buy a Meiji Mura package ticket, which includes a round-trip ticket from Nagoya Meitetsu to Meiji Mura, an admission ticket, and a one-day pass for the steam train and tram inside the park. It's cheaper than buying separately. I spent over five hours in the park, and many of the buildings are of European style. It's a great place for a photo op in Nagoya.

Great place to visit if you come to Tokyo This museum so great I like it #Japan

#nagoyatrip Be sure to schedule a full day to enjoy what this place has to offer. Bring snacks too - while there are cafes and vending machines throughout the area, it'll be easier to relax and secure your seat since there are a lot of people exploring. Especially during the weekends! I suggest to start off with the farthest site- Frank Lloyd Wright's work on the Imperial Hotel. There's a cafe inside and lots of areas to explore. From there, one can spend about 10-12p minutes per site - some would have informative tours so keep your eyes peeled for their schedules! This place isn't that friendly for wheelchair access - the toilets are far too narrow but at least they are spread along the area for people to be comfortable. Some sites are properly cared for while some have been haphazardly painted for aesthetic reasons. Still, enjoy exploring the sites authentic place ha s a lot to offer.

🏠Meiji Mura Museum / Former Imperial Hotel📍1 Uchiyama, Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture 484-0000🚶21 minutes by bus from Inuyama Station to the East Exit of Inuyama Station💰2000 yen Reservation: You can purchase tickets in advance online. You can also buy tickets on the day on site. Duration: 30 minutes📷: ok ---------------------------------------------------- This is the building that made me a fan of architect Wright. Wright is good at using straight lines, and although his designs are very simple, they often draw you in. It was a mysterious building where natural light shines in and the building itself seems to be emitting light. #retrotownscape #retroarchitecture #architecture #emo #retro #historical sites #trip to experience history and culture #aichitrip #aichitourism #domestictrip #trip_outdoor

#wintergetaway Meiji-mura (博物館明治村, Hakubutsukan Meiji-mura, "Meiji Village Museum") is an open-air architectural museum/theme park in Inuyama, near Nagoya in Aichi prefecture, Japan. It was opened on March 18, 1965. The museum preserves historic buildings from Japan's Meiji (1867–1912), Taisho (1912–1926), and early Shōwa (1926–1989) periods. Over 60 historical buildings have been moved and reconstructed onto 1 square kilometre (250 acres) of rolling hills alongside Lake Iruka. The most noteworthy building there is the reconstructed main entrance and lobby of Frank Lloyd Wright's landmark Imperial Hotel, which originally stood in Tokyo from 1923 to 1967, when the main structure was demolished to make way for a new, larger version of the hotel. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
