    Hokkaido Sorachi-gun Nakafurano Cho Nae Mubanchi
    "This art museum has a collection centered around oil paintings of the Furano area in all four seasons. It was opened as a studio-gallery for the artist Shuichi Okuda, who has spent his 30-year career painting landscapes. ""It's hard to capture my motif through even a single pane of glass,"" he says, and true to his work he paints outside in the harsh northern landscape all year round, in -30 degree centigrade winters or 30+ degree summers. As a result, his paintings have a depth and reality that makes viewers feel as if they are truly in that space. It is housed in the remodeled former Nae Elementary School. The building itself has been modeled into a work of art on its own."

    道道759号沿い。旧奈江小学校を利活用。30年余りこの地を描き続ける奥田修一画伯の現在進行形の美術館とのこと。入館料400円。館内撮影可能。少し離れて絵画を見た方が良い、とか係員が色々世話好きなのもご愛敬。風景画家の庭入園料400円。風景画館とのセットで700円。

Hokkaido Areas

around-area-map

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
