Day 22 - Meiji Mura Open Air Museum

Today we traveled to Nagoya and visited Meiji Mura Open Air Museum. This was a very interesting site visit where we saw many buildings from the Meiji period that were scheduled for demolition earlier in the 20th Century, but were moved to this site to provide a kind of 'snapshot in time' of the architectural styles and practices in this very early period of merging japanese and western aesthetics.
