I met a friend in Shizuoka City for lunch and a visit to the Shizuoka City Museum.
We had lunch at Kappadokiya and both ordered the same thing. The restaurant is small and very charming.
Next, we visited the Shizuoka City Museum, which was hosting an exhibit of Ukiyo-e Prints from the Mary Ainsworth Collection, Allen Memorial Museum of Art, Oberlin College, Ohio USA. Photos were not allowed inside the exhibit, but I bought some post cards afterwards.
It was wonderful! If you are in Shizuoka before the end of the month, please go. After seeing the exhibit, we had a cup of coffee in the museum shop.
After the museum, we visited a little shop to buy some stitching supplies, then said good-bye. We have another museum visit planned in the near future.
It is funny, when I saw the restaurant name, I was expecting to see Turkish food. I thought it was a Japanese version of Cappadocia in Turkey. I see from their website that they must get that a lot, as they have had to spell it out, "No, “kappa dokiya” has nothing Turkish about its name!"

What a fun day :) I love museums, but sadly, very few of my friends do.
