The Kumaya Art Museum (熊谷美術館) is housed in several charming, old storehouses, offering a nostalgic atmosphere that transports visitors to a different era. This unique museum showcases a rich collection of exhibits, including intricate ink paintings, delicate calligraphy, and beautifully crafted tea bowls.
