自転車で細身美術館In Okazaki, Kyoto's main museum area, is the somewhat quirky Hosomi Museum.
It was founded by a wealthy collector and is today run by his heirs.
The Hosomi Museum focuses on haniwa (tomb figurines), Buddhist sculpture, Buddhist ceremonial tools, and narrative handscrolls (emaki) from the Muromachi period.
In an underground level is a pleasant cafe and the museum's gift shop.
The museum is a short walk from Heian Shrine and the museum of modern art.
