Toh Gen Kyo vol.22 - MIHO MUSEUM


	The nonprofit organization Shumei International hosts a free special opening for disabled visitors and their attendant (reservations required). The museum will be closed to the general public on that day, so those with disabilities can leisurely enjoy the MIHO MUSEUM and participate in educational programs. Although the restaurant and café will be closed, drinks and other services will be available in these areas. Visitors can also bring their own food.
	Those in need of attendance are asked to come with their attendant. For those requiring special assistance, please call the museum for the various services we offer.
