PERSONAL THOUGHTS
★★★☆☆
The museum was quite a bit smaller than I had hoped it to be, but nonetheless fun to see. At my arrival I was promptly offered a free tour in English by a volunteer. A nice woman who told me a lot about the three different houses they had on display. Even if the guide is not available, at all houses you can find extensive information in English. Upstairs is a exhibition that chances once in a while. Since this was a temporary exhibits, they didn't have English information available, but it was fun to see anyway. (Well, I do know Japanese, so...) Anyway, I think this is a lovely small museum and definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
