Ritsurin Garden is a superb cultural asset that conveys the characteristics of the daimyo strolling gardens that were typically seen in the 17th and 18th century. A daimyo strolling garden is a type of traditional Japanese garden in which ponds and hills are expertly constructed over a vast tract of land, and you can enjoy the garden's space as you leisurely walk around inside.

This garden is full of beautiful detail. The trees are manicured immaculately and the landscaping of each view is exquisite. Even though we visited in early November and the autumn colours weren't yet fully showing the garden still looked fantastic.

Not many art works at this museum but the building/environment is an integral part of the experience. The best is this white room where 5 Monet paintings are displayed; you put on slippers to enter. Online ticketing system restrict number of people. Was there low season (December) so didn't need to book but show up and buy a ticket. Took me under 1 hour to enjoy the three exhibits, enjoy the architecture and have a drink at the cafe.

Otsuka Pharmaceutical's pet project to make the world's art pieces accessible to the world. Built inside a mountain, on the tip of Shizuoka is this museum of ceramic replicates of the world's greatest art pieces. Probably one of the only places one can see modern greats like Andy Warhol, Salvatore Dali, and Picasso all on one floor. To see the most famous pieces of Michael Angelo, Van Goh, Gaugin, Renior, Rafael, Rodrigues, Vermeer, Rubins all in one building is pretty amazing. They have a recreation, in its exact dimensions, the Sistine Chapel. Rooms devoted to the annunciation, self-portraits, and recreation of Monet's Nymphéas outside. While these are only exact replicas, it is a great way to see and appreciate these masterpieces in the same building. You can do comparisons without having to travel around the globe. It really builds appreciation for art and culture. Currently, there is a COVID19 shortened free guided tour of about 40 minutes. Regularly it is 2 hours. In Japanese only. There is an audio guide for a fee. Available in many languages. Parking is very far away but there are shuttle busses that come every few minutes to shuttle you back and forth.

I came to Iya Valley specifically to stay here. The drive to Iya Onsen is spectacular, and my stay at Iya Onsen was nothing short of amazing. the staff were so helpful and courteous, the food was fantastic, and the scenery from the hotel, from the cable car to the onsen, and the onsen itself has to be experienced to be believed. I'm determined to come visit Iya Onsen again.

Photographs don't do justice to the power of this place. Profoundly spiritual experience. The breathtaking architecture and the subtle, mesmerising art installation form such a perfect whole. We stayed for almost 90 minutes in near silence, just sitting on the floor, watching the droplets of water first form and then launch on their serendipitous journeys, watching the breeze play with a white ribbon, observing others observing the water drops, walking around the curving, circular structure and feeling very moved by it all.

This is the place that really exceed my expectation. The museum has nicely integrated into its environment, overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. It has various exhibits to draw your attention too. My favorite is the Yellow and Black Boats. The museum offers an extended viewing time for Benesse House hotel guests. Afterwards, remember to venture out to see the outdoor exhibits nearby the museum by the sea.
