What to expect

Hokkaido Development Village is like an outdoor museum. It is an experience park with the theme of recreating the life, culture, industry and economic history of the pioneering era. It was built in 1983 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Hokkaido. The entire pioneering village is roughly divided into urban groups, fishing villages, rural groups and mountain villages. More than 50 precious buildings such as residences, schools, factories and businesses have been relocated and restored, and walking around is like returning to Hokkaido a hundred years ago. In addition to visiting the interior of the building, you can experience the way of life of Hokkaido people a hundred years ago, and you can also experience the transportation at that time, such as the carriage railway, horse sleigh, etc. It is very interesting.

Inclusions vary by option — check the details on your selected option for exactly what's covered.
