Postcards from Meiji-mura - Streetcar
Meiji-mura is an open-air museum for preserving and exhibiting works of Japanese architecture from the Meiji period (1868 - 1912). The museum occupies an area so large that it has its own bus service, streetcar and steam train to help visitors get around the village.
The streetcar in the foreground was originally part of the Kyoto streetcar system, which opened in 1895.
The building in the background is the Kitasato Institute, a private medical institution founded by Shibasaburo Kitasato, a pioneer in bacteriology in Japan, at Shiba Shirogane, Tokyo.
