FAQ
When can you tour the village?
Between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. You cannot tour the village after 5:00 p.m. Ogimachi Village, a world heritage site, is not a theme park or reconstructed facility, so it does not have business hours. Around 500 residents still live in this area, and make a clear distinction between life and tourism hours. Therefore the village is only open to tourists during the day. Designated parking business hours: 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (last admission at 4:30 p.m.) Only people staying in the village overnight can tour it at night. No other tourists will be permitted.
The time I want to book shows "-" and I can't make a reservation
