I Go To Kanazawa City

I went to the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art and Crafts in Ishikawa prefecture.

I also went to the Ishikawa Prefectural Museum of Traditonal Arts and Crafts.

Then, back to the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art and Crafts again.

I Go To 'Trick Art Museum' in Nasu #2

The walls of the museum were painted beautifully and illuminated in the evening.

I Go To 'Trick Art Museum' in Nasu

The ’Trick Art Museum' is a kind of an amusement park. You can enjoy walking around here and there, looking paintings, finding out tricks and taking pictures.

This Is Not A Museum, It Is A Hotel

I stayed at a hotel in Yunishigawa Onsen. The name of the hotel is Ageha. 

They had lots of craft works displayed in their hotel entrance, visitors’ rooms, lobby, corridors and even spa area.

Dinner and breakfast were rather simple, though the hotel should be highly recommended for tourists from foreign countries.

They are surely able to enjoy traditional Japanese culture and their stay.

I Go to Asuka Area in Nara Prefecture / Takamatsuzuka Tumulus

I went to Takamatsuzuka Tumulus located in Asuka village of Nara prefecure.

The tomb is thought to have been built at some time between the end of the 7th century and the beginning of the 8th century.

It is said that the tumulus suffered from grave thieves around the Kamakura period; the southern wall of the stone chamber had an opening caused by grave thieves. 

However the richly colors of the mural paintings kept almost intact and part of burial goods escaped grave robbing were discovered.

But, at the museum to which we went displayed only a replica of the the mural paintings.

The real mural paintings were stored in a conservation facility to avoid further deterioration.

I Go to a Museum in Osaka

I went to "Life of Osakan Now and Before" Museum while we were staying in Osaka.

The location of the museum seemed to be in the very center of Osaka city: we got there by car. 

It displayed miniature shops, towns, people in Osaka in the past with narration in Osaka dialect. 

You can understand how Osakan lived their life in the past spending only about one hour visit.
