There are numerous kinds of museums in Japan. Not only they display heroically valuable works but also exhibit many other original Japanese artworks and cultural heritages to give tourists opportunities to become more familiar with Japanese tradition. Especially for example, the small isolated artistic island Naoshima in Kagawa Prefecture, Shikoku Region, is known for the entire island filled with pieces of artworks. Of course, there are many other museums exhibiting art works as well as manga and anime related items. Some museums even preserve and display the history of the country and science.
