About The_Osaka Museum of Housing and Living

Osaka Kurashi no Konjikan is a unique museum located in Kita-ku, Osaka City, where visitors can experience traditional Japanese lifestyles and culture. The museum recreates the streets and homes of Osaka from the Edo period to the early Showa period, providing visitors with an opportunity to learn about life in Osaka from a historical perspective.

The first and most distinctive feature of the Osaka Kurashi no Konjakukan is the exhibition that realistically recreates the streets of Osaka in the Edo period. Lined with life-size townhouses and stores, the museum faithfully reproduces scenes of life in those days. Visitors can experience the lifestyle and culture of the Edo period while feeling as if they have stepped back in time. The museum also features a production that changes the scenery of the town with the seasons, allowing visitors to enjoy the seasonal changes in the town.

The museum also offers various hands-on programs. For example, there is a corner where visitors can try on kimonos and experience traditional games. This allows both children and adults to learn while having fun. In particular, the experience of wearing a kimono and strolling through an Edo period town is popular among many tourists.

In addition, the Osaka Kurashi-no-Makazakukan exhibits in detail the lifestyle and housing of Osaka in the early Showa period (1926-1989). Nostalgic Showa-era home appliances, furniture, and household goods are on display, allowing visitors to look back on life in the Showa era. Also on display are models and photographs reproducing scenes of Osaka in the Showa period, allowing visitors to learn about the development of the city and how people's lives changed over time.

This museum is a valuable place for visitors to gain a deeper understanding of Osaka's history and culture. The museum is an attractive spot for families and tourists alike, as they can learn about the changes in Osaka's way of life while having fun at the same time.
