The Tapukopu Village is located at the base of the Okuro Forest in the town of Takko. It is composed of five renovated thatched-roofed farmhouses surrounded by the wild lush nature of the Aomori countryside. The houses selected, moved, and renovated to form the park, the oldest of which dates back roughly 350 years. The village is a great place to walk around and get a sense of how farmers in the area used to live long ago. 

 The area is free to enter, and while the scenery of the houses and beautiful rustic landscape are worth the trip by themselves, the village is also home to some incredible hands-on activities for visitors to try. Inside the houses, you can experience unique activities like making your own Nanbu senbei (local wheat crackers). 

come take a trip back in time and experience a slice of the old life in Takko Town’s Tapukopu Village!
