    Gunma Pref. Tonegunminakamimachi Gokan 737-1
    Located in Minakami Town, Tone County, Gunma Prefecture, this glass theme park includes a hand-made glass workshop exhibiting Japan’s top-class techniques, a museum of glass art, and a retail shop. In the museum, you’ll find a variety of glass works—from ancient roman, to art nouveau, and works made by modern masters. In the workshop, you can take a free tour of how glass products are made. It is adjacent to a workshop for blown glass and stained glass, and to a restaurant that serves local beer.

    This was one of my favorite stops on our tour. We stopped here for lunch and i tried the sampler of their own brewed beer (which was really good btw). After our quick lunch we were able to put...

    私が行った時、「山」というタイトルの展覧会を開催していた。 入場者は、私入れて10人ぐらい。 この展覧会は、日本画の力作が53点展示してあったが、これしか見に来ないのでは寂しい。 私除き、全員地元に住む常連らしかった。 駅前にあり、アクセスが良い。学芸員さんは品がよく好感が持てる。 けど、宣伝不足という印象。 一般の入場料は、500円と高くないし、展示されている絵画には、巨匠作もある。 宣伝を...

    "This art museum is located 8 minutes by foot from the Jomo Line's Nishi-Kiryu Station, or alternatively, 10 minutes by taxi from Shin-Kiryu Station. The museum displays works collected by Eiji Okawa, a local of Kiryu City. Visitors can appreciate a variety of paintings, mainly consisting of works of art from the Meiji and Taisho periods, and including Eisaku Wada's landscape painting ""Matsushima Godaido"" and Takeji Fujishima's ""Mosha"". There are also a great number of Shunsuke Matsumoto's works and materials, which were the first works to be included in this collection. The museum aims to be a place where ""you can see the masterpieces you want to see, whenever you want to see them"", and as such, has sofas positioned in each of the exhibition rooms. It is designed so that visitors can take their time."

    ひっそりとしていて長閑ですが、バラエティに富んだ作品があり刺激になりました。駐車場も近くにあり、小高い場所にあるので急な坂道を通りますが、木漏れ日が良かったです。一人では多分心細いと思いますが、親しい友達と行くには良い美術館と思います。喫茶室がお休みでした。
