The Adachi Museum of Art truly brings the aesthetics of the Japanese garden to their highest form.
The fact that it has been chosen by an American specialty magazine as Japan’s top garden for more than 20 consecutive years is completely well deserved.
Yokoyama Taikan’s paintings are certainly stunning, but the real showstopper is that entire living Japanese painting—the garden itself—constantly shifting with the seasons, light, and shadows.
And after taking in all that beauty, sitting down in the museum café for a cup of coffee feels like the perfect finishing touch to the whole visit.

Asahikawa Kitasaito Garden
Connected to Asahikawa Station, Asahikawa Kitasaito Garden is placed in a rare location - in the middle of a city. Passing the west concourse of the station and reaching the “Shopping Park” in the city, you can appreciate the grand Chubetsu River and the rich nature in the northern land.
Cleverly integrated behind Asahikawa Station and along the Chubetsu River, this place creates a green urban oasis with a modern design that stretches toward the city center. It’s a great spot for Asahikawa residents to exercise or take a walk, and it also gives short-term visitors a place to relax.
In winter, it is turned into a ski park and offers a simple skiing experience. -
