ANDO's Literature Museum in Himeji



This one in the city of Himeji was completed in 1991. The city is famous for Himeji Castle. Engyo-ji temple where The Last Samurai featuring Tom Cruise and Ken Watanabe was shot  is also in Himeji. The temple serves several excellent temple meal courses. Worth trying.

The museum is not far away from the castle but not many foreign tourists are seen. The number of Japanese visitors is also limited. But it's rather fortunate for those who love to see architecture alone. Near the museum stands a Japanese style house and the admission is free of charge. Locals can rent a room and do their activities. But you, as a traveler, can experience a nice interior of a good Japanese house.
