I think the Kimono Museum would be fantastic place to visit.
I use google to translate into english the Japanese websites you put here. :)
Here is what I do...
Use google website.
http://www.google.com/
Copy address of Japanese website into google search field.
http://nmkb.jp/index.php/museum/
Click on "Search".
The website should appear at the top of list of results. Beside it (right hand side) should be a link saying "Translate the page".
Click on "Translate this page" link to get to translated to english webpage.
You can copy the address of the translated website and share it like this...

note:This does not work with every Japanese website.
The "translated" Japanese is done by computer so the result in English is not always completely accurate to the Japanese but you can get a general idea what is being written about at the Japanese website.
Hope this is a help :)
