[Tsuruoka] Domon Ken Memorial Museum

📸 Domon Ken Memorial Museum (will be renamed Domon Ken Photography Museum) A museum where you can see the works of Domon Ken, one of Japan's leading photographers! His photographs are overwhelmingly powerful, and although I've been going on "pilgrimages to old temples" every year, every work has a captivating charm🖤 🏛 Architecture | Yoshio Taniguchi The design is like floating on a lake, and it's a beautiful space that is one with nature🌊✨ The quiet and calm atmosphere makes it perfect for taking your time to appreciate the photographs. 🎨 Works by artists with whom he was friends are also on display! 🌟 Isamu Noguchi's sculpture "Domon-san" is installed in the courtyard, which is also wonderful! 🌿 The garden "Nagare" designed by Hiroshi Teshigahara. A garden paved with river stones from the Mogami River, the design where the water flowing from Iimoriyama flows into "Ken Lake" is a must-see 📌 Domon Ken Memorial Museum 📍 2-13 Iimoriyama, Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture (inside Iimoriyama Park) ⏰ 9:00-17:00 (last entry 16:30) 📅 Closed: Every Monday from December to March (closed the following day if it is a public holiday), New Year's holiday 🎫 800 yen for adults / 400 yen for students / free for elementary and junior high school students 🚗💨 Access to Sakata from Tokyo 🚄 Shinkansen + limited express bus (about 4.5 hours) 　Tokyo Station → (🚅 Yamagata Shinkansen about 2 hours 50 minutes) → Shinjo Station → (🚌 limited express bus about 50 minutes) → Sakata Station 🛫 Plane (about 1 hour) + bus 　Haneda Airport → (✈️ about 1 hour) → Shonai Airport → (🚌 limousine bus about 30 minutes) → Sakata Station 🚌 Expressway bus (about 7 hours) 　Tokyo Station, Shinjuku Station, etc. → (🚌 about 7 hours) → Sakata Station 🚗 Car (about 6.5 hours) 　Tokyo → (🚗💨 via Tohoku Expressway and Yamagata Expressway) → Sakata City 🚕 Access from Sakata Station 　🚕 Taxi: about 10 minutes 　🚌 Runrun Bus: about 16 to 30 minutes (get off at "Domon Ken Memorial Museum") 📷 A special museum where you can enjoy photography, architecture, and gardens! 🎶 📢 Check the official website for the latest opening information and exhibition contents before saving and going! ──────────────── #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #Tsuruoka
