Akino Fuku Museum

The museum building features triangular roofs and earthen walls, constructed with local Tenryu cedar wood and traditional plaster on a hilltop location.

Established in 1998, the museum honors Fuku Akino, who gained recognition after receiving a commendation at the 1936 Bunten art exhibition.

The museum exhibits Japanese paintings by Fuku Akino, including works inspired by her travels to India, Afghanistan, Nepal, and Cambodia.

Visitors reach the museum via a walking path from the parking area and must remove shoes before entering the exhibition spaces.

The museum incorporates a 120-year-old Tenryu cedar pillar and features mortar floors mixed with straw for barefoot exploration.
