Shimane Art Museum

A lakeside museum themed around harmony with water, located along the shores of Lake Shinji. Designed with a low profile to blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, its gentle, wave-like curves evoke the image of a "nagisa," the connecting point between water and land.

Located right by Lake Shinji, the setting is gorgeous. You can enjoy the exhibits while taking in the lake view. The exhibitions are diverse, and sometimes there are special shows. If you get tired, it's nice to take a walk outside. The sunset is stunning in the evening, and the whole place feels super relaxing.

Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum

Located just a five-minute walk from Tokyo Station, the Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum offers easy access to a rich cultural experience. The striking red-brick building is a faithful reconstruction of the original Mitsubishi Ichigokan, first built in 1894 and designed by British architect Josiah Conder, known for landmarks like Ueno Museum and Rokumeikan.

Sit down, have a cup of tea, and feel time slow down—super relaxing. Highly recommended!
