The real-world version of Genji Monogatari I really like Genji Monogatari. The sky sea in it is so beautiful and shabby, so when I learned about the location of the Kyoto Genji Monogatari, I immediately took the city bus. The museum in the building is introduced. The customs museum mainly displays the Tale of Genji and the clothing and folk culture of the Heian period. When it arrives at the location, it looks like a very ordinary office building outside. It is totally unexpected that there is a classical custom hidden inside. museum. When I walked into the building, I saw a notice posted on the first floor saying that the museum had been moved from the first floor to the fifth floor. Fortunately, there was an elevator. The puppet version of The Tale of Genji Museum looks like a reduced version of the Tale of Genji. There are many corridors and courtyards. The most surprising thing is that there are many lifelike puppets wearing the same clothes as in The Tale of Genji, as if It's like a character standing in front of me in a play. There are also many models that simulate the life of the nobles. The puppets sit inside, as if they can hear the sound of their piano. In fact, the floor area is not that big, but because I looked carefully, it took more than an hour to visit it slowly before coming out. Warm reminder: The museum is charged, you can book online before going, Genji lovers can't miss it! !

On the 5th floor, you have to pay.

If you are interested in the Tale of Genji and the Heian period, it is basically a pilgrimage site, but if the general public visits, this place can only be seen
