Not many art works at this museum but the building/environment is an integral part of the experience. The best is this white room where 5 Monet paintings are displayed; you put on slippers to enter. Online ticketing system restrict number of people. Was there low season (December) so didn't need to book but show up and buy a ticket. Took me under 1 hour to enjoy the three exhibits, enjoy the architecture and have a drink at the cafe.

Kahoku-cho in Kami City, kochi Prefecture is the land of Takashi Yanase, creator of Anpanman. Located in this tiniest of towns, the Anpanman Museum is a spiritual home for those who love Anpanman. There is no difficult art here, and there are no suggested paths. Wander around however you like and see if you can find Anpanman and his friends hiding here and there throughout the museum.

Photographs don't do justice to the power of this place. Profoundly spiritual experience. The breathtaking architecture and the subtle, mesmerising art installation form such a perfect whole. We stayed for almost 90 minutes in near silence, just sitting on the floor, watching the droplets of water first form and then launch on their serendipitous journeys, watching the breeze play with a white ribbon, observing others observing the water drops, walking around the curving, circular structure and feeling very moved by it all.
