A 60-minute panoramic drive by way of rural scenery brings you to the Adachi Museum of Art in Yasugi. The museum was founded by Zenko Adachi in 1970, purposefully combining his passions for Japanese art and garden design. Its indoor collection of pottery, ceramics, wood carvings, and Japanese paintings dates from 1912.
The museum's gardens are also quite famous -- ranked best in the Traditional Japanese Garden category since 2003.
Daikon Island, surrounded by Lake Nakaumi, was formed by a volcanic eruption. It is home to the lovely Yushien Garden. Many flowers bloom here seasonally, and a riot of color attracts visitors in the spring and early summer when the peonies are at their best. Bright green foliage in perfectly-manicured surroundings makes the garden beautiful every day of the year. Stroll through the garden -- an area of about 10 acres -- and sit down to a lunch on the grounds to enjoy the serenity of the water and the flowers around you.
