Spent about an hour and a bit here - a few rooms, and I particularly liked the one telling about the uji chapters. I would say it’s definitely a well-maintained museum, small but containing interesting details. English audio commentary is available and I’m glad I opted for that to understand what was going on. There’s also a short film of the uji chapters, definitely watch that and the audio commentary covers that too. Small but interesting gift shop with a cafe that was quite busy when I visited.
