A museum meant for children - A nice activity for a rainy Kyoto day. However the museum is very small and the tour groupes on a rainy day are very big and cramped up into small spaces. It was difficult to hear what the tour guide was saying since she used a headset and speakers which made her voice really distorted and hard to understand for us. The museum itself is very interesting but definitely meant and suited for families with children.

Ninja and samurais - It was a fun experience to learn some samurai movement. The tour and museum is a bit sparse.
