    Hyogo Sumoto-shi Aigacho Heianura 1953
    This modern art gallery is located near the East Coast Line on Awaji Island. Operating out of the remodeled residence of modern artist Kazuaki Maekawa, the gallery has a simple and fairy tale-esque atmosphere. The spacious gallery building was originally a cow shed and has been remodeled with stained glass windows. Displaying strange characters combining animal and human traits, and idiosyncratic pieces created from common items, visitors rave that you'll feel like you've been drawn into a strange, fairy tale world. As the gallery is located on the grounds of the artist's private residence, prospective visitors are recommended to make contact in advance.

Hyogo Areas

Hyogo prefecture stretches from the north coast to the south coast on the western end of the popular Kansai region, encompassing verdant mountains, urban beaches, and fantastic historical sights. The prefecture’s main attractions lie along the south coast at Kobe, the prefectural capital, a pretty harbor city best known for its production of the renowned Kobe beef, and Himeji, the home of Himeji Castle, one of the country’s most beautifully preserved feudal castles, perched magically atop a hill.
