    Nice and beautiful museum. Lots of porcelaine and informative. However, not suitable if you are going in for more knowledge on porcelaine. They have great pieces and history on it. But no translation...

Fine art and performing art workshops are held at the museum. There is also a free to view local artist's corner.

    美術館の1階にあるスペース。美術館の無料デーに行きました。猫に関するグッズが多かった。足利らしい織物関連のお土産もありました。100円のしおりはちょっとしたお土産になると思います。

    Tochigi Ashikaga-shi Midoricho 2-3768
    This art museum stands at the southern edge of Ashikaga Park. The museum displays the artwork as well as the personal effects of Tazaki Soun, a Southern School painter who was active in Ashikaga from the end of the Edo period through the Meiji period. Known as a late Edo period loyalist painter, Soun studied under artists such as Kanai Ushu and his works have been highly praised outside Japan. Soun was also chosen to be the first Imperial Household Artist, once the highest honor for an artist in Japan, and the museum stores, conserves, and presents his artwork and personal effects. A thatched roof residence believed to have been the home of Soun stands in the museum's garden, and visitors can take in a peaceful atmosphere cut off from the hustle and bustle of the everyday.

    足利公園の中、横にある美術館です。入場にはお金がかかりますが、ちょっと休憩がてらに夜にはいいかもしれません。

    The Ryusenji Temple, a sub temple of the Enryakuji Temple, was established in 1205. Since ancient times, the temple has served as a space supporting regional culture, and today a part of the temple is open to the general public as an art museum. The museum's standing exhibition consists of famous works by artists such as Shiko Munakata, Tawaraya Sotatsu, and Taikan Yokoyama, and all are welcome to come in contact with the culture and history of Ashikaga City. The temple grounds bustle with visitors when it holds a Daruma doll market and a lucky Garamaki ceremony from New Year's Day to the Setsubun celebration. Said to ward away evil and misfortune, the temple is visited by many worshippers.

    街中なのに、緑に囲まれた素敵なロケーション! いつ行っても、静かな雰囲気に美味しいランチ。 ランチの小鉢一つ一つが、手作りの優しい味です。 デザートのスイーツもすべて手作り。 おもてなしの気持ちが伝わってきます。 仰々しくなく、 自宅のリビングで寛いでいる感じが、とっても好きです。 そして、ここのパンケーキは圧巻! 一度は食べて欲しいです。

Most visits to Tochigi revolve around Nikko, a small city home to the spectacular, lavishly decorated Toshogu Shrine and Nikko National Park with its mountains, lakes, waterfalls, onsen, and wild monkeys. Neighboring Oku-Nikko is an extension of the fantastic scenery famous for its autumn leaves, while Tochigi’s capital, Utsunomiya, is the only place in the world where you can find oya stone beautifully exhibited in temples and the Oya History Museum.
