Tenshin Memorial Museum of Art

The Tenshin Memorial Museum of Art stands along the Pacific coast, featuring exhibition spaces designed by architect Hiroshi Naito with panoramic ocean views.

Established in 1997, the museum honors Okakura Tenshin, a significant figure who established the Japan Fine Arts Academy at Rokkakudo in this coastal location.

The permanent collection displays works by notable Japanese painters including Taikan Yokoyama, Kanzan Shimomura, Shunso Hishida, and Buzan Kimura.

Located 5 minutes by taxi from Otsuko Station, the museum opens daily from 9:30 to 17:00, except Mondays, with parking for 125 cars and 10 buses.

The museum integrates Japanese art exhibitions with maritime landscapes through its architectural design, maintaining a connection between artworks and natural surroundings.
