Your journey begins with a 60-minute panoramic drive by way of rural scenery to the incredible Adachi Museum of Art in Yasugi. The museum was founded by Zenko Adachi in 1970, purposefully combining his passions for Japanese art and garden design. Browse among the extensive collection of nearly 1,000 items of pottery, woodcarvings, and Japanese paintings. The ceramics collection includes works by Rosanjin Kitaoji and Kanjiro Kawai.
Step outside into the Gardens. Adachi collected each of the pines and stones featured here from all over the country, creating a beautiful garden filled with love and passion. The garden has been ranked best in the Traditional Japanese Garden category since 2003.
Your next destination is Daikon Island, surrounded by the waters of Lake Nakaumi. This small island was formed by a volcanic eruption and is home to the lovely 10-acre Yushien Garden. Many flowers bloom here seasonally, and a riot of color attracts visitors in the spring and early summer when the peonies are at their best. Bright-green foliage in perfectly manicured surroundings makes the garden beautiful every day of the year. After a stroll among the vegetation, you will sit down to a Japanese-style lunch on the grounds of Yushien Garden.
