Little World Museum of Man, Inuyama-Shi

The theme of this large, open-air museum is anthropology, and it allows the visitor to literally walk into the lives of different peoples from around the world. Thirty-three actual homes built in traditional styles from 22 different countries have been transported and rebuilt here on a hilly, forested area north of Nagoya. The museum also features exhibits related to daily life of different cultures around the globe, as well as restaurants offering equally individual fare. There are also occasional shows by small circuses and other ethnic folk performers.
