From Hirakata-city, Osaka-prefecture, Japan

On 5 August, we went to Kyoto kanji museum . It is recently opend and our son is challenging kanji-kentei(kanji exam) so we tried to go there. This is shijo at Kyoto. Inside there, there are many unique exhibitions and also kanji-trial so we enjoyed very much.  At the first floor, there is a shop and "hoko" is exhibited. Then we walked around shizyou-douri.

Our first destination was kanazawa 21th art musium  because my wife's friend whose husband is from fukui pref. said this musium is good for children because there are some intersting spot. This musium is beautiful. It is designed by famous architect kazuyo senou.
