I visited the Mucha Exhibition at Yume Museum, a 15-minute walk from Hachioji Station. I visit Yume Museum several times a year, and compared with other exhibitions this Mucha show had noticeably more male visitors. Perhaps many men come to see images of beautiful women. I had seen a Mucha exhibition at another museum before; although smaller in scale, it featured many famous works and even included prints used on confectionery packaging from the period, so the collection felt very complete. I was pleased that photography was allowed inside the museum. The gift shop was well stocked, and I ended up buying quite a lot. At this Yume Museum in Hachioji, admission is free for junior high school students and younger. An annual pass costs 1,400 yen, which is a great deal. Hachioji offers abundant nature as well as shopping, and you can experience a variety of cultural attractions. Why not come to Hachioji and study Japanese?
