Can I visit the museum as part of a Kyoto sightseeing trip?

Yes. the museum is 30 minutes from Kyoto Station by Kintetsu and pairs well with Byodoin and other Uji sites. Visitors who come as tourists often say the stop gave their Kyoto trip a dimension they weren’t expecting. If you’re interested in the city beyond its famous landmarks, Utoro is worth the 30-minute ride.
