Contains a fasinating recreation of what the byodo-in looked like inside when built.There are also a collection of the smaller statues which were also in the byodo-in-if you are intrested in Japanese scupture they are a must see.

Having visited both the Railway Museum in Saitama and Kyoto Railway Museum in the same trip, I would say the Kyoto one offers much better experience to non-rail fanatics, as the interactive displays there did a better job in introducing the different aspects of railway operations. Not only the train driving simulators that appeal to train operator wannabes, but also the "backend" operations like ticket booking. For instance, you can print your own magnetic ticket from a real ticket machine used in JR stations and put it into a fully-functional turnstile, where the image of a steam locomotive will be printed on the ticket for your collection. It is this attention to details that made the Japanese society tick. The roundhouse is also very impressive and the steam locomotive ride is certainly a highlight in my trip to Japan.

Great experience for the kids - they enjoyed the samurai experience and ninja star / blow guns. Tour was at a good level of detail to be interesting to kids and for adults - in English and well spoke.

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.

If you are in Kyoto or Osaka, make an effort to visit the Asahi Beer Oyamazaki Villa Museum of Art. It is very near to the Suntory Yamazaki Distillery. Do check out their website for more information on arrangements to go.
