In a wonderful traditional Japanese farmhouse, this is a must-see for lovers of Japanese folk-art (that which must be made by hand and also must be utilitarian and aesthetic). Don't miss this excellent collection of textiles, Japanese furniture, masks, tea bowls and even bedding. Some of the items displayed here were produced by Japan's 'living national treasures'- craft persons so-honored by the government for their cultural contributions. Admission: JPY1,000
