🏛️🌸📜 Kyoto National Museum – Where Time Speaks in Brushstrokes

#summervacay

Step into the Meiji Kotokan — an elegant 19th-century western-style building that holds priceless treasures:

The grand façade reflected in the lotus pond
Scroll close-ups under soft light
The minimalist stillness of the gallery halls

🍃 The Garden & View

Between buildings, step outside into the quiet inner courtyard.
Stone lanterns, seasonal flowers, and benches make the perfect stop for reflection (or outfit photos, let’s be real).

🗓️ Info
📍 Located in Higashiyama, across from Sanjusangendo
🎟️ ~700 yen entry
🕘 9:30 AM – 5:00 PM (Closed Mondays)
🎨 Exhibits rotate — always something new: Edo ukiyo-e, Heian scrolls, Muromachi swords
