YASUGI Adachi Museum of Art 18 May

Some views from the train en route to Yasugi:

The Adachi Museum of Art has been voted the best Japanese garden for 13 years in a row.  It combines a collection of over 1,500 works by Japanese artists with a series of gardens covering 165,000 square metres. Founded by locally-born businessman, art collector and connoisseur of Japanese gardens, Adachi Zenko (1899-1990), this superb museum marries the best of art and garden design in a lovely whole, encapsulating Zenko's words: "A Japanese garden is also a living painting".  No photos allowed inside.
