I would LOVE visiting these spots! The folk museum is particularly interesting to me. I love the wood and the displays and I find folk arts especially to my taste and style. The natural history is intriguing too, and I really loved the photo of your friend/partner clowning with the dino! That's something like we would do!They both look terrific!

Famous painting and works.
I long for seeing it with my own eyes. I also like the exhibition that introduce personal collections held at the Tottori Museum of Art.
Because I can feel history and think about stories.

In ancient Japan,it was natural to sit on tatami mats.
The table and chairs that appeared There. How surprise and wondered.😲
Maybe, There must have been someone sitting in Japanese way on chair.

Ninja are good friends with dinosaurs.🥷🦖
