- Planned by Miura Group founder, the late Tamotsu Miura, this art museum was completed in 1998. Works of art from around the world are displayed outdoors including his own ceramic works, Miurato. At the art museum you can try glazing your own ceramic tile before seeing it fired in the impressive vigor of 1,200-degree heat. The building was designed by modern architect Itsuko Hasegawa around the design of an unequal quadrilateral shape. The deeper you explore in the building the higher the ceiling raises, giving the interior a mysterious quality.

いよてつ２デイパスを回収すべく郊外電車にも乗車します。近隣に大した観光資源はありませんが、「東京ラブストーリー」最終回のロケ地として駅自体（下り線ホーム）がよく知られています。ハンカチを結び付けた鉄柵の位置には看板がかかっています。これを見るために市街と単純往復するほどのものではありませんが、三津浜のついでに立ち寄る程度なら許容できるかしら、という感じです。
