    Ehime Pref. Matsuyamashi Ichibanchou 3-3-7
    Bansuisou located in the southern foothills of Shiroyama around Matsuyama Castle in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture is an European-style residence with an authentic French design built in 1922 as a second house for Sadakoto Hisamatsu Earl, a descendant of a former landlord in Matsuyama Province. The marvelous building employed a design of the French renaissance style with a Mansard roof and a continuous arching balcony, and was designated as a National Important Cultural Property in 2011. It was used as a gorgeous socializing place where celebrities from every walk of life gathered and royal family members who visited the prefecture stopped over. At present, it holds events and exhibitions as Ehime Prefectural Art Museum Annex.

    The villa is a very handsome building, located just below Matsuyama castle and very close to one of the main streets through town. English signage is minimal inside, but entrance is only ¥300 and the...

    Ehime Pref. Matsuyamashi Horinouchi
    The art museum was opened in 1998 in Horinouchi, Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture based on the themes of see, create, and learn. The museum is home to a collection of about 11,900 art works including the collection of the former Ehime Prefectural Art Museum, works of art from local artists and well known contemporary Japanese artists, as well as pieces of work from international artists such as Monet and Cézanne. The museum’s permanent collection changes about five to six times each year. Their temporary exhibitions on various themes are also very popular. There is also a restaurant where visitors can enjoy a meal or cup of tea with views of Matsuyama Castle.

    Because it was raining I decided to visit this museum. It is a beautiful and modern building close to a park and to the castle. The main collection was not available that day, but there were two very...

    Ehime Pref. Matsuyamashi Dougosagidanichou 459-1 Yamanote hand garden Place
    Located within the Yamanote Garden Place—within its collection of cafes and English gardens, you’ll find this Japanese-glass art museum. Surrounded by water, verdure, and a glimmering garden during nighttime illumination, the museum interior features a modern design and black&red motif. 300 items are on display here—the most in west Japan—from the red glass of Shinrokaku, symbolic of Dogo Onsen, giyaman glass from Edo period, faceted glass, vidro glass, and Japanese glass works from the Meiji and Taisho periods. The works that utilize the garden glass and water are also noteworthy.

    As I am interested in glass works, I planned to visit here in advance. Although the museum itself is not that big, I believe it would be worth visiting. The glasses are so beautifully made and those...

    道後温泉から近いので、思い付きで初めて訪れた美術館ですが、 本当に素晴らしかった。 建物も展示作品も暖かみのある雰囲気を持ち、整然とした一体感を 感じました。穏やかな時間と空間、とてもセンスが良い。 図録を見ると、今回見た作品を遥かに凌ぐ数が載っています。 年に数回、作品の入れ替えをするそうなので、その都度訪れようと 思います。 オルゴールも毎回、リクエストしなくては! 狭い路地を入ったところに...

    Ehime Pref. Matsuyamashi Horiechou 1165-1
    Planned by Miura Group founder, the late Tamotsu Miura, this art museum was completed in 1998. Works of art from around the world are displayed outdoors including his own ceramic works, Miurato. At the art museum you can try glazing your own ceramic tile before seeing it fired in the impressive vigor of 1,200-degree heat. The building was designed by modern architect Itsuko Hasegawa around the design of an unequal quadrilateral shape. The deeper you explore in the building the higher the ceiling raises, giving the interior a mysterious quality.

    こぢんまりした美術館ですが、園内に桜が綺麗に咲いていて、変わったオブジェや壁画が飾ってあり、ちょっとした異空間が体感出来ます。 今回は館内に展示された焼物の器の展示会を見てきましたが、不思議なデザインのアートが多数展示されていました。

Stretched across the northwest corner of Shikoku island, Ehime is a nature-rich prefecture boasting beautiful coastlines and a rural center where mountains play host to 26 of the Buddhist temples that make up the Shikoku Pilgrimage. Matsuyama is home to an original post-feudal castle as well as Dogo Onsen, one of the country’s oldest natural hot springs. The northern city of Imabari marks the entrance to the Shimano Kaido, a road that crosses six spectacular bridges and several islands, forming a route between Shikoku and mainland Honshu.
