    Kyoto Kyoutoshi Sakyou-ku Okazakienshoujichou
    This art museum inside Okazaki Park in Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City first opened its doors in 1963. The museum’s annex, a modern building of glass and gray walls, was completed in 1986. The museum collects and preserves modern art from both within Japan and around the world and boasts a collection of over 12,000 pieces. The museum places particular emphasis on art from Western Japan and the Kansai region with a focus on Kyoto and has a collection of many works from the Kyoto and Kansai art worlds. The museum also displays industrial art pieces. In addition to a permanent exhibit whose contents are changed periodically, the museum also holds special exhibitions. The adjoining authentic Italian café is also popular.

    平安神宮のすぐ近くにあるのでついでに立ち寄りました。なかなかの規模のイベント会場で企業展なども行われるようですし、京都の伝統工芸が見学できるミュージアムもあり、企画展でなかれば無料で見学できました。時間があれば立ち寄ってもいい場所だと思います。

    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Sakyo-ku Okazakienshojicho 44

    中国の文物が殷時代から清時代までそろっている。東京の国立博物館、書道博物館等で見なければ見られないものが京都で見ることができる。 私は書道をしているので、特に文字資料の充実に驚いた。また、文字資料だけで無く当時の１級の文物も多数展示されており、書の背景にある当時の文化を同時に知ることもできる。

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
