I went to the "Muttoni World Exhibition" held at the Museum of Dreams, which is a 20-minute walk from Hachioji Station. This is my third time at my favorite exhibition! At the "Muttoni World Exhibition", there are many karakuri music boxes on display, and each box takes about 5~20 minutes.

Children up to junior high school students can watch for free, adults can watch for 750 yen, and people over 65 years old can watch for 350 yen. I highly recommend that you take a ✨ look!!

I went to the "Mucha Exhibition" held at the "Dream Museum", which is a 15-minute walk from Hachioji Station. I visit the Dream Museum several times a year, but the Mucha exhibition had more male visitors than other exhibitions. I wonder if there are many men who want to do beauty paintings. I have seen the Mucha exhibition at other museums before, and although the scale is small, there are many famous works, and not only paintings but also those printed on the packages of sweets of the time were exhibited, and the content was substantial. I was also happy that it was possible to take pictures inside the museum. There are plenty of goods, and I bought a lot of them. This Hachioji Dream Museum can be viewed for free for junior high school students and younger. In addition, the annual passport is quite reasonable at 1400 yen. Hachioji is not only rich in nature, but you can also enjoy shopping and experience various cultures. Why don't you study Japanese in Hachioji?

The Sapporo Art Museum has a large site of art museums. You can enjoy it whenever you go, but when I went in the height of summer, it was really nice to be cool in the forest even though it was supposed to be hot. The name of this gate and cone building is "The Road to the Hidden Garden" It's kind of exciting, isn't it?

#Nitori Stained Glass Museum The president of Nitori actually went to England many times, transported the stained glass of churches that were being demolished due to the decrease in believers, etc., to Japan and exhibited them in Otaru. No matter how many times you visit, you will fall in love with its beauty. My family is a Buddhist and I just want to kneel. Jesus and the angels are lovely, but I like the lamb who looks up at Jesus Christ (laughs). I would like to see it in a real church in Europe.

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, I would like to introduce LuLu's post "Kanagawa Prefecture / Hakone Open-Air Museum, "Symphony Sculpture Calling Happiness" surrounded by 360-degree stained glass".

Daikanyama ARTS RUSH Gallery "Mushroom Exhibition" has closed. This time, I was able to seriously face the production of the longed-for mushroom, Kinugasatake, and create it in a new attempt.

"Mushroom Exhibition" being held at Gallery ARTS RUSH in Daikanyama. Pulp Art Mushroom Lamp is exhibiting. This time, the DM was made a lamp 🍄✨ of Kinugasatake She is the queen of mushrooms that I have longed to make someday. Casa, dress, egg, part of the pattern. We carefully produced each part while thinking about how to make the pulp so that it has a texture. When I was strolling around the back of the atelier to take pictures, there was a crowd of mushrooms! The crowd was Bulbophyllum. When I saw it again the next day, they were all gone, but the impact was amazing, so I immediately tried to make it through trial and error. The mushroom exhibition will be until tomorrow, but you can enjoy the unique works of the artists. If you are in the vicinity, please feel free to take a look ♪.

Yokosuka Museum of Art. It is a superb view. Large ships pass by in Tokyo Bay in front of you, and it is fun just to look at them. We had lunch at Aqua Mare, a restaurant in the museum. Very delicious.

21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art. I like the fellowship of the sky.

That is one beautiful looking chandelier. I can imagine it cost quite a bit of money. Incidentally I'd never seen the kanji for Yebisu before, nor had I heard of Yebisu Garden Place. Looks like a really awesome place to go for dinner or lunch as it has some nice restaurants and cafes (both high-class and reasonably priced which is nice). Probably be nice to go for a date actually. Do some shopping and then stop by for dinner or even just go for lunch and then walk around the area and see everything there is. I guess there's an art museum and a theatre as well, so yeah this place is like a 10/10 for going on dates probably lol. I'd like to check out the beer museum personally; sounds pretty interesting and you can get samples too if you pay a small fee it looks like
