Small museum and festival hall preserving Jōhana’s ornate Hikiyama festival floats and stage arts. Shoot richly carved woodwork, lacquer, textiles and painted panels indoors; capture the building’s traditional frontage and narrow town streets outside. Best visited during the Jōhana Hikiyama Festival (evening parades and illuminated floats) or weekday mornings for quiet interior detail shots. Lighting: interiors are dim—bring a fast lens and higher ISO; evenings give dramatic backlit lanterns. Be
