Tochigi Nasu-gun Nasumachi Yumoto 203

The museum is a theater-style museum that can be called the culmination of the work of Seiji Fujishiro, an artist of light and prayer, and where an objet d'art of a cat guides visitors through the lush garden that leads from the Nagaya-mon gate. A brick chapel with beautiful stained glass windows is also located in the garden.

I was moved by his great expressiveness. This museum was better than I expected. But, the explanation board is only in Japanese.

大きなスキー場ではなくシンプルな感じでわかりやすいゲレンデでした。ゴンドラもあるのでロング滑走ができるコースです。ただ、ゴンドラを乗った場合は上級者コースを通らないと下に降りられないため、乗る際は注意が必要です。途中から中級や初級になるが最初のみ上級コースを滑ることになります。ある程度滑れるようになってからゴンドラ利用をお勧めします。他のコースは緩斜面が多いです。練習には向いています。
