    京都大学総合博物館は、京都大学に隣接した。百万遍の近くにあります。大人の入場料は400円です。色々な標本が展示されていて楽しく拝見しました。私の場合は、入館するのが遅かったので、約1時間で見終わりました。閉館時間が、15時30分なので、もう少し遅い方が良かったです。

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.
