In 1998, an old Japanese inn was renovated and opened as the Yugawara Art Museum. We exhibit works by artists with a connection to Yugawara, such as Seiho Takeuchi, Sotaro Yasui, and Kokki Miyake. In the Reiji Hiramatsu Hall, Reiji Hiramatsu, one of Japan's leading artists, is currently creating an exhibition provisionally titled ”Ten Scenes of Yugawara.” In addition to viewing his works, the atelier where he creates his works is also open to the public. In the Japanese garden connected to the museum you can view seasonal flowers and ”Monet’s water lilies,” which were grown from water lily bulbs given to Reiji Hiramatsu by the Fondation Claude Monet. In the museum's cafe ”And Garden,” you can relax with food and tea while enjoying a fine view of the garden. Please enjoy appreciating great art in our peaceful, soothing museum. Access: From Yugawara Station, take the bus headed to Okuyugawara or Fudo-Taki for about 12 minutes We are right next to the Bijutsukan-Mae bus stop.
[Tenshozan course: Takes around one hour 10 minutes at a regular pace (or 55 minutes if walked in the reverse direction)] [Momiji-no-sato course: Takes around one hour 20 minutes at a regular pace] This is a great course for people who want to hike among nature. You can stroll through primary forest containing cedar, pine, and beech trees while the sunlight through the branches creates patterns along the path. As the song of wild birds echoes among the trees, you will feel the atmosphere of the deep mountain forest. Please enjoy the natural scenery of Okuyugawara while stopping by to see the Hakuun waterfall which resembles silk threads flowing through the greenery, and Tenshozan Shrine, which is beautiful in every season. The newly named Momiji-no-sato is best enjoyed in November. However, it can be crowded during foliage season.
