Little Kyoto Nishio :Enjoy matcha & the first classic book museum
Overview
Nishio City Historical Park is a new historical and cultural center that conveys the life of the past by partially restoring “Nishio Castle,” which was the center of the Nishio clan‘s Rokumangoku castle town until the Edo period. In this plan, you can learn about the history of Nishio by visiting the cityscape of the former castle, which is likened to the park and Little Kyoto, and visiting a temple (Seiganji) related to the Matsudaira family who served the Tokugawa family , with explanations by a local guide who knows Nishio City well. Iwase Bunko is Japan's first old book museum that preserves and publishes more than 80,000 books in a wide range of fields and eras, from classical books including important cultural properties to modern practical books. With this plan, you can see and touch printed matter (scrolls), which is considered to be the oldest in the world?, and gorgeous picture scrolls from the Edo period, and experience making Japanese-style books.
