In addition to the museum building itself, the scope also includes the old Nakamura residence, the tea house Ume-an, and the tea house Koun-an. After viewing the exhibits, you can also have a bowl of matcha and cakes, and it only costs ¥350, which is quite cost-effective.

Suzuki Museum in 2 minutes along the path on the sloped green space.
