Historical Village
The impressive and entertaining outdoor museum village,
depicting Hokkaido life in days of old, is situated in Sapporo at
Atsubetsu Ward in a corner of the Hokkaido Nopporo Forest Park. The
site features restored or recreated buildings from the Meiji and
Taisho periods, and includes edifices like the old Sapporo railway
station, old Otaru newspaper company buildings, fishermen's
cottages, mountain villas and the like. Horse-drawn trolleys run
through the village and in winter horse-drawn sleighs carry
visitors around the site.

stores, but most Japanese operate with cash. Cash and travellers
cheques can be exchanged in banks, post offices and currency
exchange bureaux. Banks are usually open Monday to Friday 9am to

taken in US dollars. ATMs do not accept all credit and debit cards;
only the international ATMs in post offices, airports and some
major stores.
