Matsugaoka Kaikonjo

Overview

Matsugaoka Kaikonjo is a vast former farmland reclaimed during the Meiji period, incorporating Western agricultural techniques to improve Japanese farming methods. At the time, this land was a desolate wasteland, but the pioneers worked tirelessly under harsh conditions, transforming it into fertile farmland. Today, the remaining brick buildings and expansive farmland evoke the pioneering spirit of that time. A museum details the history of the reclamation project, and exhibits offer a glimpse into the lives of the pioneers. Take a stroll through the vast farmland, explore the historical buildings, and experience a piece of Japan's modernization.
