Kawamoto "civic centre" (inside)
The musical instrument museum in Kawamoto is only a few metres wide, little more than a corridor running alongside the swimming pool, but is very tall and gives the impression of being a cathedral.
The complex of buildings were designed by Arai Chiaki, a local architect. The little museum is free, and worth a visit if you are in the area, but probably not worth a special trip unless you are really interested in musical instruments from around the world.
The benches are designed as piano keyboards and are a nice touch.
The foyer also uses height to increase the sense of space.
