The Adachi Museum of Art is a museum in Yasugi City, Shimane Prefecture, that combines modern Japanese painting with Japanese gardens. The majestic Japanese garden, which has been selected as the best in Japan for many years by an American magazine specializing in Japanese gardens, is particularly impressive, and visitors can enjoy the dry landscape garden and the white sand and green pine garden, which show different expressions throughout the seasons. The museum also has a large collection of works by Yokoyama Taikan, and the collection is said to be the best in Japan in terms of both quality and quantity.
The most attractive feature of the Adachi Museum of Art is its well-maintained Japanese gardens. The vast grounds are home to six gardens, each with a different style, and there are many places where you can view them as "living framed paintings" using the museum's window frames as frames. In particular, the "moss garden" with its beautiful green moss and the "dry landscape garden" that expresses the majestic nature of dry landscape gardening are must-sees. Each garden is kept beautiful throughout the year by professional gardeners, and shows a different expression every time you visit. On rainy days, the wet moss and trees shine even more vividly, creating a fantastic atmosphere.

The collection of Japanese paintings on display is also very extensive, with more than 120 works by Yokoyama Taikan in particular. From paintings of Japanese landscapes to Zen paintings, the wide range of works on display allows you to trace the evolution of Yokoyama Taikan's artistic career. In addition, many works by masters of modern Japanese painting, such as Takeuchi Seiho, Kawai Gyokudō, and Uemura Shōen, are on display, allowing visitors to experience the depth of Japanese art. The space, where the two "beauties" of painting and gardens are in harmony, gives visitors a sense of tranquility and emotion.

The museum also has a cafe and tea room where you can take a break while looking at the garden. The time spent slowly sipping matcha tea and enjoying light meals while looking at the beautiful garden is an exceptional luxury. The museum shop sells art books by Yokoyama Taikan, garden-related goods, local specialties, and more, so you can enjoy choosing souvenirs. A free shuttle bus is available from Yasugi Station, making it easy to access. It is a unique place where you can enjoy Japanese beauty to your heart's content.
