Lonely Planet review

Okazaki-kōen is an expanse of parks and canals that lies between Niōmon-dōri and Heian-jingū. Two of Kyoto's significant museums can be found here (National Museum of Modern Art and the Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art), as well as two smaller museums (Fureai-kan Kyoto Museum of Traditional Crafts and the Kyoto International Exhibition Hall), and the Kyoto City Zoo. If you find yourself in Kyoto on a rainy day and need to do some indoor sightseeing, this area has enough to keep you sheltered for most of the day.
