I've always wanted to visit the COMICO ART MUSEUM YUFUIN in Yufuin since it was built. Reservations must be made the day before to enter. The museum was designed by Kengo Kuma and has a beautiful exterior. The COMICO ART HOUSE YUFUIN is also located on the premises, and you can even stay overnight. It was a wonderful museum with architecture that blends in with the scenery and artworks by some of Japan's leading contemporary artists. Please note that there are areas where photography is allowed and areas where it is not. There is also a free audio guide (Japanese only). I went there because I wanted to see the dog, a work by Yoshitomo Nara, in the rooftop garden on the second floor. I was overwhelmed with emotion when I finally got to see the dog. Other highlights include works by Takashi Murakami, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Yayoi Kusama.

#GlobalTravel In addition to Fukuoka, Yufuin is a must-visit place for Kyushu travelers. Take the Yufuin-no-Mori sightseeing train from Fukuoka and you will be surrounded by the natural beauty and relaxing atmosphere as soon as you arrive in Yufuin! The first stop was the artist museum designed by Kengo Kuma - COMICO ART MUSEUM YUFUIN. In the distance, I was attracted by the black building with a strong sense of design, which was indeed full of the style of Master Kengo Kuma. The museum exhibits works by many famous contemporary artists, including the familiar Takashi Murakami, Yayoi Kusama, Yoshitomo Nara, etc. The streets of Yufuin are lined with lovely cafes, art galleries and handcrafted shops, where visitors can try local delicacies. In terms of food, I highly recommend the Bungo beef kamameshi from the famous restaurant "Yubu Mabushishin". We bought takeout and ate it at the B&B. The taste and appearance were still almost perfect. 📍Address: Yufuin

𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩*⋆✈Oita𓂃 𓈒𓏸Yufu City COMICO ART MUSEUM YUFUIN It's a classic spot, but I still want to make sure to check it out! So I went to this art museum about 15 minutes from Yufuin Station. Designed by Kengo Kuma, it is characterized by its effective use of materials such as wood, earth, washi paper, and water, with small roofs arranged in a row to blend in with the scenery of the Yufuin village, and the use of burnt cedar for the exterior walls. Yoshitomo Nara's white dog, "Your Dog," is very famous. It was also featured on the cover of Casa in 2022. I've been to the Aomori Museum of Art and the Hirosaki Brick Warehouse Museum, but is that complete? ← It was a very fine day, so Mt. Yufu in the background was clearly visible and extremely beautiful... The best conditions🥹⛰️✨ Other exhibits included works by Yayoi Kusama, works by Tatsuo Miyajima, who is active both in Japan and abroad, works by Hiroshi Sugimoto, who is famous for the Enoura Observatory in Odawara and the Corridor of Time in Naoshima, works by Takashi Murakami, who mainly works on Kaikai Kiki, and more. These are works that you've probably seen before, so even if you're not familiar with art, you can enjoy them by feel! 🥹🖼️ (including me) The building itself is now art, so it was a museum where you could enjoy the space as well. By the way, how many Kengo Kumas are there? By the way, along the river next to COMICO, Mt. Yufu looked beautiful and it was very wonderful! ※Notes※ ・Parts of the museum are prohibited from filming, so listen carefully to the explanation and be careful. ・No videos allowed inside the museum! Foreigners and people who don't read the warnings carefully are taking videos, but it's also written on the website 😢 - Advance reservations are required, so online reservations are required! - There is no parking lot, so it is recommended to park nearby or walk 🚶 - In addition to closed days, the museum is also closed for maintenance, so please refer to the website 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓊆𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒𓊇 From the official website ¥1700 Get a ¥200 discount online!

📍Address: Yufuin, Fukuoka 💞Recommended reasons: The most secret art museum in Yufuin is the Comico Art Museum, a place where the building itself is more worth appreciating than the exhibitions. You can make an appointment in advance on the official website. There are 15 places available for each time period. Yufuin (Yufuin) is a small, quiet town, but one that is rich in powerful nature as well as the history and energy of the people who live there. The initiators of the art museum sincerely hope that the encounter between architecture that is in harmony with the landscape and the works of leading contemporary Japanese artists will bring healing and peace to Yufuin and the people who visit the area. 🏖️Environment/Facilities: Mount Yufu is the symbol of Yufuin. COMICO ART MUSEUM YUFUIN stands at this location, overlooking the majestic yet gentle ridgeline of Mount Yufu. Architect Kengo Kuma always considers the concept of "unevenness" when designing. By arranging several small roofs in a row, it was considered to blend into the landscape of Yufuin Village, which is full of small houses. In addition, through the effective use of materials such as wood, earth, Japanese paper and water, we have been committed to coexisting with nature for many years. The black material that covers the museum's exterior is roasted cedar. The black substance permeates the view of Yufuin, making Mount Yufu and the surrounding scenery more clearly visible. The roasted cedar appears pure black from a distance, but when you look closely you can feel the texture and warmth of the wood. The properties of a material develop over time. 💞Recommended reasons: The traditional village culture that still exists in Yufuin has been carefully passed down to this day. However, this land is not only something that has been preserved since ancient times, but also has the flexibility to adapt to the changes of the times. The expanded exhibition area in 2022 has shaped Yufuin's multifaceted and sophisticated image. By angling the black-baked cedar walls dramatically in opposite directions, the tip of the building extends toward the sky, creating more space on the site. When you look around every corner of the building, you can feel that the building integrates light, water and wind. Listen to the whispers of nature in Yufuin while admiring art and architecture. 🕰️Business hours: 9:30-17:00 (last admission 16:00) Closed every other Wednesday * Free multi-lingual audio guide available (headphones required). #Japan #Fukuoka #Yufuin #JapanTravelStrategy #JapaneseArtMuseum #FukuokaItinerary

Located in Yufuin, Oita Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan, the Comico Art Museum Yufuin (COMICO ART MUSEUM YUFUIN) was designed by Kengo Kuma. The black, irregularly shaped building is diagonally cut with aluminum, extending into the sky and blending with the surrounding mountains. The museum features works by famous artists such as Yoshitomo Nara, Yayoi Kusama, Tatsuo Miyajima, and Hiroshi Sugimoto, attracting many architecture and art enthusiasts. The COMICO Art Museum in Yufuin is also a famous work, designed by Kengo Kuma and with a logo designed by Kenya Hara. The museum is located deep in a side road off the main road, with black charred cedar wood on the exterior walls. The charred cedar fully reveals the texture of the wood, warm and deep. Kengo Kuma's consistent use of natural materials such as earth, wood, water, and Japanese paper makes the building disappear into nature, not for display but as an existence, surrounded by tranquil rice fields, resembling an ancient village at the foot of Mount Yufu. The museum is relatively small, with two exhibition halls. One of the halls features Hiroshi Sugimoto's photography works with the theme of the sea. Sugimoto has been capturing the world's seas with black-and-white film. These works only feature the sea, sky, and a line, only black, white, and gray. A sense of dim emptiness and vague shadow comes over you, often praised but somewhat oppressive.

Yayoi Kusama, Yoshitomo Nara, Takashi Murakami, and many more... A museum filled with works by artists whose names are synonymous with contemporary art. "COMICO ART MUSEUM YUFUIN" This time, I had the opportunity to tour with a curator who taught me a lot. Even though I had zero knowledge of contemporary art, learning about the background stories made it resonate with me, and I found it fascinating—I might just become an art enthusiast! Yayoi Kusama's polka dots are a release of her suffering. Takashi Murakami enjoys creating his works surrounded by people. Conversely, Yoshitomo Nara prefers to face his work alone. Hiroshi Sugimoto's seascapes depict unchanging landscapes from ancient to modern times. However, behind the scenes of those photographs, unlike ancient times, there were people fleeing from war. I could go on and on about what I felt, but I'll stop here. I hope everyone gets to see it and confront their own emotions. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ COMICO ART MUSEUM YUFUIN 📍 2995-1 Kawakami, Yufuin-cho, Yufu-shi, Oita 🕐 9:30-16:00 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
