    This is a museum built on a hill which overlooks Sagami Bay in Atami, Shizuoka Prefecture.

The museum reopened in February, 2017 after undergoing renovations. It is located five minutes by car from JR Atami Station.

    I never would have expected such an impactful museum in a city as small as Atami. It is visually impacting from when you first roll up to it. You can enjoy incredible views of Atami before even...

    Shizuoka Pref. Itoushi Kawana 1439-1
    Located in a perfect location overlooking the sea is this stained glass museum in Kawana, Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture. With a church and chapel contained within, there is precious stained glass from the 19th century given by the UK to be found throughout the building. The museum is a glorious space in which the soul is soothed by the rays of sunshine pouring through the stained glass windows, the soft light of the lamps and by the scent of the incense. Unexpected moments can be enjoyed while listening to the sounds of the music box and pipe organ. On site is an Italian restaurant run by chef Yukio Ishizaki and also a wedding venue.

    パイプオルガンの演奏があり、音色は自分の気物を落ち着かせてくれる。食事もでき美味しかった。レストランの窓から海が見えるのはとてもいい。また、ここでボーとしたい。

    9月の初めに訪問しました。まず外観を見て、そのアバンギャルドな佇まいにびっくり!「20世紀」という名前にふさわしい建物に心を奪われました。中に入ると、広々とした空間の中に、20世紀の名画(本物ですよ!!)が惜しげもなく常設展示されていて、ひっくり返りそうになりました。覚えているだけでも、ピカソ、ミロ、ルノワール、ダリ、シャガール、ムンク、マティス、キスリング、ウォーホール・・・など、など、など...

    "This art museum has a unique exterior, seeming to look like mossy-covered rock, which serves as a landmark. On display are sculptures and paintings by Seiko Sawada, a sculptor who received designation as an Honorary Citizen of Atami and the Order of Culture Merit. Having studied under Zuiun Yamamoto, the top pupil of Koun Takamura, Mr. Sawada continued creating works in a wide range of artistic fields, including wood sculptures, paintings, pottery, and printings, until he passed at the age of 93. Teeming with powerful vivacity, his works are well regarded as communicating at lot of romance when seen. Displayed in several ancient Egyptian exhibits and highly praised for its size and material value, the ""Egyptian coffin: top lid"" is said the finest item is Mr. Sawada's collection."

    熱海梅園の梅まつりに行った時に、梅園内にある記念美術館に入りました。澤田政廣氏のことはあまりしらなかったのですが、仏像彫刻をはじめとする木像などの彫刻は迫力があり、彫刻の下絵も展示されていたのも面白いと思いました。入口にはステンドグラスかあり、記念館の周囲にもブロンズ像がいくつか展示してありました。

    The Nosaka Automata Museum is an art museum located in Yawatano, Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture, which stores and displays antique ‘automata’ dolls that can move by mechanical means. Automata produced by European watch makers in the 18th and 19th centuries are works of art that use one spring as its driving force without using any electrical power. In addition to the exhibition of a number of valuable automata that would have attracted aristocrats of the day, there is also a corner which shows, several times a day, the automata in action.

    "This art museum stands on the slope of a mountain overlooking the sea of Izu and Atami. Centered on the theme of ""Coexisting with Nature"", it expresses the worldview of Koshiro Toda, the trailblazer in the field of Japan's educational picture books. Surrounded in greenery, the art museum building, from architectural design to interior design, from furniture to the garden, has all been designed by Mr. Toda. On display are many of his works, including the original drawings of picture books he drew, educational picture books, and the picture book he drew for Osamu Dazai's classic ""Run, Melos!"" In the adjacent restaurant, you can relax while taking in the view of mountains and the sea."

    山の中腹で眺めも良い場所にあり、ドライブのついでに寄るには良い場所です。 思ったほど絵は展示されていませんが、絵本をスクリーンで上演していたり、知らずにボーっと絵本の世界に浸っていました。 心地よい時間でした。

    An art museum just a five-minute walk from the Shaboten Park Bus Stop, a 20-minute ride on the Shaboten Park bus from Izu-Kogen Station on the Izu-Kyuko Line. Nearly some 250 wax dolls of a variety of historical figures and movie stars are on display. All of the details no matter how dainty have been reproduced from facial features and shape down to wrinkles and fingerprints. Leonardo Davinci's The Last Supper was painstakingly recreated over a 13-year period and is a must-see sight.

    昔に行って15年ぶりくらいにいきました。 世界のマダムタッソーとは別です。 かなり古いです。2階建の建物です。 ちょっとカビの様な湿気の香りと言うか。 それがちょっと不思議な空間にマッチしてました。 人形も古いですが、伊豆に行ったついでに寄るのは良いと思います。

Shizuoka Areas

around-area-map

With the giant Pacific Ocean to the south and the great Mount Fuji to the north, Shizuoka prefecture is blessed with some of the best views the country has to offer. The white sand beaches of the Izu Peninsula are a rare find on mainland Japan, neighbored by beautiful cliffs, tumbling hills, and natural hot springs. As Japan’s largest producer of green tea, the age-old tradition of tea drinking is ubiquitous in Shizuoka, from the miles of tea fields to the old tea houses hosting traditional tea ceremonies.
