You can go up and see Kaminarimon for free, which is honestly such a nice perk. The view is pretty good too.
The building itself has a lot of character. The wood-toned design feels really warm and comfortable, and it matches the Asakusa atmosphere outside perfectly.

Kyoto city KYOCERA Museum of Art
It started as Japan's second largest public art museum, Tairei Kinen Kyoto Art Museum, that commemorated then-emperor's enthronement, then the name was changed to Kyoto City Art Museum. In spring of 2020 after a renovation, it was reopened as Kyoto City Kyocera Art Museum.
If you love historic architecture or photography, the Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art is a must-add to your itinerary. The overall atmosphere is quiet and elegant, with a strong retro charm. Every angle feels like a scene from a movie.

Toyota Municipal Museum of Art
An art museum on a small hill overlooking the city center of Toyota, Aichi. Opened in 1995, it presents a wide-ranging collection centered on art from the late 19th century to the present, along with design and crafts.
My biggest takeaway after visiting was how “comfortable” it felt.
The design isn’t overly flashy. Instead, it shows its beauty through proportions, materials, light and shadow, and reflections on the water. Every corner feels like a movie scene, and the view changes every few steps. You can really feel the thoughtful design throughout. -

Dolphin Watching Reservation Center (Amakusa City, Kumamoto)
A dolphin-watching tour set in the waters of Amakusa Itsuwa, home to around 150 wild Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins.
The dolphin-watching tour in Amakusa was arranged really smoothly. Not long after we headed out, we saw a whole pod of dolphins swimming right alongside the boat. They were even closer than I expected, and everyone was excited the whole time. The experience was totally worth it.
The overall experience with Meisheng Travel’s Kyushu trip was also pretty good. The itinerary balanced sightseeing and free time well, so it never felt like we were constantly rushing from place to place. We also got to try quite a few local specialties, and the ramen and yakiniku were especially memorable. -
