Hida Minzoku Kokokan (Archaeology Museum)
Hida Minzoku Kokokan (Archaeology Museum) Review
This mansion once belonged to a physician who served the local daimyo (feudal lord). It has mysterious eccentricities—hanging ceilings, secret windows, and hidden passages—all of which suggest ninja associations. Displays include wall hangings, weaving machines, and other Hida regional items.
