    Kanagawa Pref. Ashigarashimogunyugawaramachi Miyakami 623-1
    Yugawara Art Museum is located in the town of Yugawara in Ashigarashimo County. It consists of a section containing works by artists who had studios in Yugawara as well as a section devoted to the works of Reiji Hiramatsu, a contemporary artist who paints in traditional Japanese style. A rest area in the exhibition galleries overlooks a lovely Japanese garden, with seasonal views of plum, cherry, and other blossoms as well as autumn leaves. The museum also contains a coffee shop and a shop where visitors can buy souvenirs of Yugawara.

    県道75号沿い。割引券の提示で観覧料金100円割引。プリントアウトお忘れなく。モネ財団から貴重な「モネの睡蓮の株」を譲られ育成しているという平松礼二画伯をはじめ、湯河原や熱海所縁の画家の作品が充実。3階アトリエや庭園は撮影可能。モネ押しは一度足を運んだ方がいいかもね。リゾート地の何チャッテ美術館ならぬ温泉地の何チャッテ美術館以上の価値はあります。

After viewing the exhibits, visitors can enjoy green tea served in tea-ware made by famous Living National Treasures (some now deceased) such as Hamada Shoji, Kaneshige Toyo, and Miwa Jusetsu.

    The writer of the headline review does not seem to have got beyond the museum shop. There are three more floors of very good modern Japanese ceramics, several Roualts, a Renoir, a couple of Picasso...

There are regular exhibits and themed exhibits in five exhibition rooms, where oil paintings, writings, illustrations, book bindings and about 80 works in total are displayed.

    真鶴駅から県道739号を約3キロ。週末は道路渋滞要注意。中川一政没後30年記念「二つの中川一政美術館交流展」を見に行きました。観覧料800円、JAF会員証提示で100円引。建物は公共建築百選に選ばれた如何にも役所造といった外観。茶室内に限り写真撮影可能。真鶴半島ドライブがてらついで寄りには敷居が高いかも。アトリエはコロナの影響か公開されていませんでした。

    地図上の建物は見つかりましたが美術館の看板はなく、他の方が書いているように移転されたものと思います。近所の方にも聞きましたが解らないとの事で残念でした。

Kanagawa Areas

around-area-map

Kanagawa prefecture acts as an extension of the Tokyo metropolis that spills over into coastal towns, most notably Yokohama city, heavily populated and known for its Chinatown and seaside attractions. Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
