Beautiful museum, Ryūshi's residence across the street is a must see. What an incredible artist and human being. The staff were very kind and helpful. If you can you really must make this a priority to visit.

Incredible paintings, came in around the final hour they were open so wasn’t able to check put Ryushi’s house. Still was plenty of time to check out the main museum. Most of the exhibit signage was in Japanese.

Sweet staff. Everything is in Japanese so Google translate will be your friend and you will be here longer than you might think. The interviews of the artist and description of the artworks were immaculate and persuaded me enough to buy a book that they sold regarding some of the work in the museum along with further information on the artist. Sadly they don't have any selections in other languages, just Japanese, but at least I can translate on my own time and enjoy the images. You aren't allowed to take pictures or videos of the artwork but you can talk to the staff as they are more than likely to let you if it's for educational and advertising purposes. It doesn't hurt to ask them. The entrance fee is only a few hundred yen and it's nice to just look at the artwork in a quiet and calm environment.

Lovely museum. Beautiful paintings and kind and helpful staff. I was also given a tour of Kawabata Ryushi's house next door, an idyllic place that's very naturally designed. Highly recommend.

beautiful art pieces by Kawabata Ryushi, no English explanations though. 200 yen admission for adults.
