It looked rather interesting but the museum was mostly in Japanese, as opposed to other museums who have English options

My wife and I stopped in here after going to Himeji Castle, and were greeted by an amazing hostess. She brought us around, practiced her English and showed us and explained so many exhibits. My wife also, with the help of two girls, was able to put on a traditional kimono. I recommend going here!

A functional but not exceptional local museum. Has both free (ground floor) and paid (second floor) exhibits. The former seemed to be worth it if you've got 20-30 minutes to burn. Did not check out the latter but the Y1000 admission price seemed excessive given the apparently limited floor space (i.e. paid area love led to be smaller than the free area). English language labelling was a bit of a mixed bag... Brief 'section' labels were translated as were many artifact labels, but none of the longer information plaques were translated.
