Nice exterior but just one small room for the gallery. Not worth the ¥760 entrance... ¥500 would be a fair price. Also, I'd renovate the onsite cafe; Put some art in there and turn it into a space that ppl want to spend a bit of time in

I stopped by on my way back from Lake Chuzenji. When I entered the parking lot, I was surprised to see that it was a 700 yen paid parking lot! When I entered the building, I was asked to show my parking ticket, so I thought they were going to take money again, but instead they stamped me with a free 2-hour stamp. The lobby has a wonderful ceiling and a wonderful view of the forest from the windows on the east side, so you can spend a relaxing time sitting in a chair. The exhibition was ``Eyes on Landscapes: National Park Painting Exhibition.'' The exhibition focused on works from the early Showa era, when the national park system was established. There were some large works and some amazing landscape paintings. Hoan Kosugi was born in Nikko in 1896, and is said to have led the Western painting department of the Japan Art Institute along with Yokoyama Taikan during the Taisho period. My personal impression is that many of the works on display were created in the old days, and I felt that they didn't quite match my sensibilities.

I went to see the Keiko Sena exhibition. Parking lot: 700 yen If you pay the entrance fee, you can get 2 hours free. Adults 1000 yen, children free! I just happened to be involved in a gallery talk. Waited for about 30 minutes after being given the numbered ticket. Just wait for the instructions. It was confusing and a little frustrating. There is a book-shaped panel in the photo area. I'm glad that Lulu-chan is life-sized. The exhibition room was small It has been devised with partitions etc. I was able to see many works It's a children's movie, so it's a little low. If you can display it, the children will I thought I could have enjoyed it more.

July 25th is Parent and Child Day, so parents and children can enter the museum for free, so we arrived 15 minutes before the museum opened, and there was already a line waiting to get in. I was worried about whether we would be able to get in after the museum opened, but we managed to get in. Parents and children had a lot of fun as it was a Keiko Sena exhibition. The exhibition floor was just right, neither small nor wide, and I was able to enjoy it for just under an hour. I waited in line for about 10 minutes at the goods corner... On my way back, there was a line outside, and entry restrictions had begun, and the parking lot was full and there was a line of cars waiting to park. I realized how important it is to act early.
