Shikoku-mura
四国村ミウゼアム（四国民家博物館）
The scenery of old Japan and old Shikoku will calm the heart
This is an outdoor museum where old houses from the four prefectures of Kagawa, Ehime, Kochi and Tokushima have been transfered and restored. It is also used in chidren’s social studies program.
The facility is rich in nature, and inside you will find old farmhouses and equipment that will give a taste of the old lifestyles, in addition to a soy sauce production facility and other traditional industries. There is also an agricultural kabuki theatre stage (Noson Kabuki) where local people become actors and put on Kabuki shows.
There are active pieces of art by the carver Nagare Masayuki and the Shikoku-mura Gallery, designed by the architect Ando Tadao. You can experience different types of art here. In the gallergy you will find a wide range of pieces, including carvings, Buddha images and scrolls. You can also see a waterscape park (Suikei Tei-en) that makes use of the slope that extends below the balcony.
For a rest or a meal, you can visit the Tea Room Ijin-kan, which is the tranfered Ijin-kan (Foreigners Residence) from Kobe in Hyogo Prefecture, or Waraya, a refurbished old farmhouse.
