Meiji Mura (明治村、Meiji village museum) is an open-air architectural museum/theme park in Inuyama, near Nagoya in Aichi prefecture, Japan.
The museum preserves historic buildings from Japan's Meiji (1867-1912), Taisho (1912-1926), and early Shōwa (1926-1989) periods. Over 60 historical buildings have been moved and reconstructed onto 1 km² (247 acres) of rolling hills alongside Lake Iruka. The most noteworthy building there is the reconstructed main entrance and lobby of Frank Lloyd Wright's landmark Imperial Hotel, which originally stood in Tokyo from 1923 to 1967, when the main structure was demolished to make way for a new, larger version of the hotel.
Steam Locomotive No. 12 was imported from Britain in 1874, and was one of the first steam locomotives in Japan. Steam Locomotive No. 9 was manufactured in 1912 in the United States. The third class passenger carriages were manufactured in 1908 and 1912.
