Muy divertido. Te metes en todos lados y puedes hacer un monton de fotos chulas. Es como un pueblo japo es en losmaños 60-70

Está muy bien y muy original. Todos los ambientes del Japón antigüo recreados. Son 1.200 yenes pero el ambiente conseguido es brutal en sus Dos plantas. Es fácil pasárselo pues desde fuera parece más una tienda que un museo. Recomendable!!

Mi visita al Takayama Shokawa no fue para nada agradable. Si bien la idea de un viaje en el tiempo podría resultar atractiva, la ejecución deja mucho que desear. El lugar está excesivamente abarrotado de objetos, lo que genera una sensación de agobio y dificulta apreciar cualquier pieza individualmente. Además, la acumulación de polvo es evidente en cada rincón, contribuyendo a una atmósfera descuidada y poco saludable. El olor rancio que impregna el ambiente es otro factor negativo importante. Resulta desagradable y persistente, afectando la experiencia general. Personalmente, terminé mi visita con un dolor de cabeza considerable, probablemente debido a la combinación del polvo, el olor y la sobrecarga visual. Aunque entiendo el concepto de recrear una época pasada, la falta de cuidado y limpieza hacen que la visita sea más una experiencia incómoda que educativa o entretenida. No recomendaría este lugar a quienes busquen una inmersión histórica agradable y saludable. Hay otros lugares en Takayama que ofrecen una mejor representación de la cultura local sin estos inconvenientes.
