Located inside Nopporo Forest Park, "Historical Village of Hokkaido" is an open-air museum that was established commemorating the 100th anniversary of Hokkaido's founding. They have relocated and restored, and are preserving historical buildings from various locations throughout Hokkaido that convey the industries, daily life, and culture of Hokkaido's pioneering era, spanning the Meiji, Taisho, and early Showa periods.

Dividing the village interior into four areas: urban, farming, mountain, and fishing villages, and also recreating the scenery of that time, so if you enter one step, you can experience the feeling of being in Hokkaido from more than 100 years ago. In summer, the horse-drawn railway, and in winter, the horse-drawn sleigh, are recommended for touring. Traditional play equipment making and straw craft workshops, etc., where you can experience the culture of the pioneering era, are also held as needed. The winter-season-limited "Winter Life Experience" is a perfect opportunity to learn about the harsh winter life of the pioneering era.
