Meiji Mura

My brother arrived on Friday for what is planned to be a busy week of sightseeing. Our first stop, on Saturday, was Meiji Mura, an open-air museum of Japanese buildings from 1867 and later. The most famous of the more than 60 buildings which were relocated to Meiji Mura is the lobby of the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo which was designed by Frank Loyd Wright. We chose a beautiful day to see the museum, which blue skies and great fall colors.
My favorite building in the collection was a church moved from Kyoto and had a bamboo interior ceiling.
