INFO

Parking is available at both the North Gate (5th block) and the Main Gate (1st block), so feel free to start from whichever you prefer. If you enter as soon as the village opens in the morning, you might be able to see everything by midday if you stick to a good pace. The village also boasts charming vehicles. If you plan to use them, consider purchasing a one-day pass from the start. There are also tickets for bus-only rides. Note that neither the buses nor other vehicles go all the way to the top of the hill. While exploring at your own pace is great, we highly recommend the free guided tours. If you find a building that catches your eye, consider joining one. Guided tours are available for several locations: Each Block Guided Tour, Imperial Hotel Guided Tour, Kikai-kan (Mechanical Hall), Kobe Yamate Foreigner's Residence, Kouda Rohan's Residence (Kagiuan), Saigo Jondo's Residence, Kofukuza Theatre, Nishihara Kompo's Residence, Takada Koguma Photography Studio, Shibakawa Mataemon's Residence, and Higashimatsu House. Tour times are posted at each location, but a schedule is also available at the Guidance Center to the right of the Main Gate. Keep in mind that most tours finish between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM, so some selection will be necessary. There's also a mystery-solving event (I wonder which installment it is now?). It features cleverly designed puzzles, and many people are always giving it a try!
