🖼 Nagano Prefectural Museum of Art | A museum overlooking Zenkoji Temple where nature and art blend together

📍 Located in Shiroyama Park, Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture (east of Zenkoji Temple)

Renovated in 2021, this is a new type of art museum known as a "landscape museum," where the architecture itself is part of the landscape. Centered around the Main Building and the Higashiyama Kaii Gallery, the exhibits, space, and rooftop terrace are in harmony with nature, creating a space that opens up to the soul.

🗓 Open year-round (closed Wednesdays)
⏰ 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (last entry 4:30 PM)
🎫 Permanent admission: ¥700 (shared with the Higashiyama Kaii Museum) *Special exhibitions have separate fees
🚃 13-minute bus ride from JR Nagano Station, get off at "Zenkoji Kita," then walk for 3 minutes

💡 Recommended Points
✔︎ The view of Zenkoji Temple from inside the museum is breathtaking.
✔︎ There's a dedicated exhibition hall where Higashiyama Kaii's masterpieces are quietly displayed.
✔︎ With a park, waterfront, and cafe nearby, you can spend the whole day here.
✔︎ Relaxing in the breeze on the rooftop terrace is also great.
