Hakata Machiya Furusato

TIME : 2016/2/17 14:01:30

Spread over three machiya (traditional townhouses), this folk museum recreates a Hakata nagare (neighbourhood unit) from the late Meiji era. The replica buildings house historical photos and displays of traditional Hakata culture, festivals, crafts and performing arts, as well as recordings of impenetrable Hakata-ben (dialect). Artisans are frequently on hand offering demonstrations.
