| Apr 22, 2019 at 4:10 | comment | added | hippietrail | Five years ago when I last came to Japan the responses to this question rather depressed me so I didn't visit any Ainu museum or village. But now I'm back in 2019 and a local friend introduced me to his Ainu friend who is a successful Ainu artist & musician. He is proudly Ainu and felt the Hokkaido museum's Ainu section is so good that he drove me there. Ainu have just received the most official recognition ever in 2019 and the government is renovating some museums in time for the Olympics. There is also a new Ainu-run guesthouse in Nibutani. I hope to visit soon and submit a full answer here. | |

You can go to an Inuit fishing village in Alaska where they still use mostly traditional fishing methods but then load their catch into pickup trucks at the end of the day, then go to the community hall and do traditional dances. | |

| May 13, 2014 at 4:41 | comment | added | hippietrail | I think the two questions and their answers should be merged. I was quite shocked by the stuff I read in answers and comments on the older question, plus a few nonsequiturs. I like the answer here better than the old answers, which don't even cover Nibutani. | |
| May 13, 2014 at 4:35 | comment | added | hippietrail | @MichaelBorgwardt: Rubbish. I live a truly authentic suburban Australian lifestyle and anybody is allowed to go there, even you. "Authentic" in these contexts just means "not fake or overdone stuff put on just for tourists". | |

| Jun 8, 2013 at 14:35 | comment | added | hippietrail | I think "traditional" can mean "resisting total assimilation" among other things and not just "living in a cave" or "living in a protected reserve". I know I can visit people living traditional lives in Mongolia for instance where living in a yurt that moves seasonally even if they might wear baseball caps and own a motorbike or a rifle or even a TV. I see no reason something analagous might not exist in Hokkaido. | |

| Jun 5, 2013 at 12:37 | comment | added | Michael Borgwardt | If you had made a conscious decision to live a traditional life instead of a modern one, would you want groups of foreigners to come gawk at you and take pictures? People do not like being tourist attractions. They'll tolerate it only if it makes them money. | |

| Jun 5, 2013 at 12:24 | comment | added | Geeo | @MichaelBorgwardt I don't see why they shouldn't allow visits. Japanese life style is pretty different from African one, still you are able to visit without thinking that the whole Japan is a stage for African visitors. I don't actually get your point, but may very well be my fault. | |
| Jun 5, 2013 at 12:18 | comment | added | Michael Borgwardt | If it's truly authentic, they won't allow you to go there. Otherwise, it could not stay authentic. You'll have to be content with the staged stuff, just like all the other tourists. | |
