DIC Kawamura Memorial Museum of Art

This art museum, located in Sakura City in the northwestern part of Chiba Prefecture, integrates architecture, nature and works of art. It is located in the tree-lined Kita-Soudai Hills and covers an area of ​​30 hectares. It makes excellent use of this unique environment. In addition to appreciating the museum's main 20th century modern works, the natural walking wetland park adjacent to the museum is also worth checking out! The wide, clean and well-managed lawns and squares, the wetland promenade in the courtyard, the Monet-inspired lotus pond, and the various charming flowers and plants that change with the seasons are all so beautiful that you can't help but linger. There is a tea room in the museum where you can enjoy Japanese sweets and drink tea. There is also an Italian restaurant next to it named "Beautiful Scenery" in Italian. It uses local ingredients from Chiba and is inexpensive and of good quality. Looking out the window, the wetland park is like a beautiful painting that does not require any filters, allowing you to enjoy endless comfort and elegance while drinking tea and dining! If you are afraid of the hustle and bustle of the city, you might as well take the light rail for a 1-hour trip to enjoy the tranquility of your body and mind. There is no entrance fee to the courtyard. I must say it three times: there are few people, few people, few people! Babies who like taking photos can almost rent the whole place out! You will not be disappointed no matter what season you go there. It is definitely a treasured leisure place.
