A Museum with the Heart of Japan in a Quiet Residential Area

This museum specializes in tea utensils, etc., so your interest may be limited, but there is a parking lot so you can easily stop by. The architecture is very detailed and worth seeing.

This is a retro Japanese art museum located in a corner of a quiet residential area. Adults are 500 yen. As luck would have it, there was a guitar concert going on (additional 1,000 yen), so I was able to enter on that day. A tea room? It was very soothing to hear a guitar played by a professional in such an atmosphere. I felt like it was a great deal for a concert of this quality for 1,000 yen. Although there aren't that many paintings in the painting corner, there are works by quite famous painters (such as Yokoyama Taikan) on display. It depends on the theme, but there are many calm works, and the flow of time and the atmosphere of the staff make it gentle and relaxing. You can also enjoy the tea room and Japanese garden. You can see the surrounding area from the rooftop on the third floor. There is a limited number of parking spaces, but you can park about 10 cars for free right in front of the building, but please be careful as it is difficult to park on the left side. (There was a note) Otherwise, there was a notice posted at the entrance to the gate for paid parking. By the way, there is no permanent coffee corner. Since there is a tea room, I thought it might be nice to have something like that.

Although the number of works on display is small, it is a calming space. The garden and tea room are both beautiful. The way the explanatory text asks "Is it ○○?" makes me interested in the picture.

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, but although it is a small facility located in a residential area, it has a nice atmosphere.The first floor is a hanging scroll, the second floor is a painting exhibition room, and the third floor is an observation deck. You can look out to the west.However, there is a building in front of you that is the same as the observation deck, so it is a bit worrying.The facility itself is small.

Available during weekday afternoons small museum Part of the private premises has been modified to display some of the stored items. The main exhibits are tea utensils in general, including tea holders. In particular, tea vases are displayed in line with each era and major production areas. Also, each point is explained and you can understand the background. There is also a tea room and tea bowl display on the second floor, each with its own unique tea utensils. Although it is a little small, there is a garden, which you can especially enjoy during the autumn leaves season. There is something like a tea room and a small Inari statue. Some of the plants planted have a tropical feel, creating a mysterious atmosphere. There is an observation deck on the third floor, but the surrounding buildings are of the same height, so the view is not particularly spectacular. Is the garden overlooking it worth seeing? There is a parking lot for about 6 cars, and there is a facility for tea parties within the same facility. You need to be careful when there are events.
