    Wakayama Pref. Nishimurogunshirahamachou 1-1
    "Located next to Shirahama Town's Sakata Park, the museum and shrine here share the same premises. The art museum displays 150 pieces on Lamaism, Hinduism, and Esoteric Japanese Buddhism; including Buddhist statuary normally not open to view (Photography is prohibited in the hall). Right as you leave the art museum, you'll find Kanki Shrine (Sakata Shrine). Known for the boons of marital happiness, pregnancy and smooth delivery, and match making, its home to the stones of the Mt. Sakata Ritual Site used more than 1,300 years ago. What's more, as Prince Arima once visited Shirahama Onsen, they offer a photo service called the “Asuka Romance Experience"" where you can get your picture taken wearing Asuka period clothing."

    歓喜神社と併設されております。美術館というか博物館的な。しかし気になったのは中の空気の重さ・・・快晴でとても気持ちの良い日だったのに、しかも入り口も開けてあるのにびっくりするほど濃密な空気と気配に怖くなり、（入場者は私ひとりだったこともあり）じっくり展示を見ることもなく足早に出てきてしまいました。尚、コロナ禍で猫は触れません。

    Wakayama Tanabe-shi Ryujinmura Ryujin 203
    "Visitors can find this museum by following National Route 371 north along the Hidakagawa River from the hot spring resort area of Ryujin Village, Tanabe City, Wakayama Prefecture. As its name indicates, it houses over 100 mandalas. Some date back 1200 years, to the era when the Shingon monk Kobo Daishi founded the first monastery on Mt. Koya. There is a special exhibit in his honor called ""The Light of Kobo Daishi Kukai."" In addition to mandalas, the museum also exhibits haiku, poems, and other items connected with Buddhism."

    2016年6月23日にみなべから高野山に向かう途中に立ち寄りました。トリップアドバイザーに施設の写真が掲載されていないことから行きましたが、曼陀羅の説明がないので、ただ見ただけという感じでした。

    Wakayama Arida-gun Yuasacho Yuasa 679-2
    This museum is housed in a traditional Japanese home building which once also operated as a tofu shop. The facility was opened as part of the Agency for Cultural Affairs' Kominka Model Business project, which aims to repurpose old Japanese homes which are no longer used but which are of cultural value into businesses. The museum retains as much of the original home architecture as possible and displays old toys, particularly from the late 1950s to early 1960s, including kendama cup-and-ball games, beigoma tops, and retro action figures and dolls. There's even an area where visitors can actually play with some of the toys. In addition, the museum has an old-fashioned dagashi cheap sweets shop and a cafe area, making it a space that is fun for children but also a place where adults can revisit their own childhood.
