Suigeikan

Suigeikan is an art museum in Jūniso that displays both contemporary and traditional Japanese artworks across multiple exhibition spaces. The building features modern architecture designed to house diverse forms of artistic expression throughout its galleries.

The museum was established in 1996 and quickly became a center for artistic activity in the Kanagawa region. Its creation marked an expansion of art venues in this area of the prefecture.

The institution presents rotating exhibitions that highlight Japanese artistic traditions while incorporating contemporary interpretations from both local and international artists.

The museum is accessible by ferry service via Uno Port, making it a pleasant destination to visit. Comfortable shoes are recommended, especially if you plan to explore the surrounding area.

A large whale sculpture marks the museum's entrance and connects to the institution's name. The name itself draws from Japanese drinking traditions tied to the sea and local waters.
