If you happen to be in the area then definitely worth dropping by. The museum is quite small and looking a bit tired in places, but it is genuinely interesting and the staff are all very pleasant.

However, to be honest it does (as others have said) feel like a tourist trap of the "Packaged tour day excursion" type that you get a lot in Spain and Turkey. It's mostly a huge shop with a mixture of some really lovely items and a lot of bog standard souvenirs which you can pick up just about anywhere. Unless you have a LARGE budget don't bother buying yukata here - there are much better quality ones for a lot less elsewhere.

We made a special effort to go and see it (it's not especially easy to get to) but in all honesty it was a bit disappointing especially for my wife who has a textile background and was expecting a much more "interactive" experience. We honestly thought we'd see people weaving and perhaps have a go but there were only static exhibits and strictly no touching/photos.

Pity really. It feels like it could be so much better.
