On Friday, November 13, two cultural institutions in Ashiya—Ashiya City Museum of Art & History and the Tanizaki Junichiro Memorial Museum of Literature, Ashiya—will apparently offer free admission for “Kansai Culture Day”!
Quoted from the press release
“Kansai Culture Day” is an event that offers free admission—generally to permanent exhibitions—at museums, art galleries, and other cultural institutions across 10 prefectures in the Kansai region.
This year’s event will primarily take place on Saturday, November 14 and Sunday, November 15, but the two participating institutions in Ashiya will offer free admission on Friday, November 13.

The two institutions are right across from each other, so you can visit both in a single day!
Since Ashiya’s event date differs from those of institutions in other municipalities, you could visit these two museums in Ashiya on the 13th, then tour institutions in Nishinomiya, Kobe, Amagasaki, Osaka, Kyoto, and elsewhere on the 14th and 15th. It looks like this weekend will be a great opportunity to immerse yourself in art, history, and culture!
