The Kyushu National Museum is located in the ancient western capital of Dazaifu in Fukuoka.
It's built on a hill overlooking Dazaifi Tenmangu, the temple built around the last resting place of Sugawara Michizane that became a shrine in the Meiji Period, and probably the most major tourist spot in Dazaifu.
To get between the two there is a series of escalators and moving walkways. The museum was designed by the famous Metabolist architect Kiyonori Kikutake, and I suspect the escalator and walkway too.
What makes it worthy of note and inclusion in my occasional architecture postings is the light show. A sequence of different colors shoot down the tunnel as you travel along, as well different colored lighting along the wall.
