Japan's only architectural museum dedicated to craftsman tools, the Takenaka Carpentry Tools Museum!
Located near Shin-Kobe Station in Kobe, the museum's refined wooden architecture and Japanese garden are soothing and relaxing. The exhibits carefully showcase the outstanding techniques of traditional Japanese wooden architecture, from historic carpentry tools and wood-carving joinery methods to a full-scale model of a tea room, all viewable up close. Both beautiful and educational, the exhibits offer a deep appreciation for the extraordinary attention to detail of Japanese craftspeople. It's a highly recommended cultural attraction to visit in Kansai!
