Takushinkan, Photography museum in Biei, Japan

The Takushinkan museum exhibits a collection of nature photographs depicting the seasonal transformations of Biei's hills, fields, and winter landscapes throughout different decades.

Photographer Shinzo Maeda established Takushinkan in July 1987, creating a dedicated space for displaying artistic images of the surrounding Hokkaido landscapes.

The museum maintains rotating exhibitions that present the regional identity through photographs, connecting visitors with Japanese perspectives on natural beauty.

Takushinkan opens daily from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with last entry at 3:45 PM, and changes its exhibitions twice yearly to represent winter and summer seasons.

The museum now features works by multiple generations of the Maeda family, including new photographs by Kei Maeda, the founder's grandson.
