With the common ticket I bought when I visited the Jade Garden and the Hisui Museum in the same facility, I entered the Jade Garden and Tanimura Museum, which are about ３ minutes away by car. After visiting the Tanimura Museum of Art, I went to Jade Cuien. Religious works were exhibited at the Tanimura Museum of Art. It was not an antique work, but rather a religious statue designed at this time that seems to have been recently made. I thought the work itself was unique.
