From this small town in a mountainous area, many potential artist have come out since around 100 years ago. That is why the town has so attractive art museum on the hill near the Tenryu River. I like nice paintings and sculptures which appeared in the course of westernization of the country, by the artists such as SETO Danji, NAKAGAWA Kigen, NAKAMURA Fusetsu etc. They have also many lovely articles by our contemporary artist. The Kojin-Yama Hill, on which the museum built, is located at the northern end of the Ina valley. From the south terrace room of the museum, we can see the wide spreading fertile valley continuing far to the south and the mountains in the east and west, which are the highest ranges of maintains in Japan.
