The Adachi Museum of Art (足立美術館) was founded by Adachi Zenko in 1970, as a way of combining
his passions for Japanese art and garden design. There is also a permanent exhibit of paintings by
Yokoyama Taikan（横山大観).

Adachi Museum of Art is definitely one of the best must-sees in Shimane, or even in Japan. Its splendid
Japanese gardens were chosen as the No.1-Japanese Garden for thirteen straight years. The museum
is blessed with beautiful nature, visitors can observe the combination of the garden and the surrounding
mountains changing its faces by seasons.







Free shuttle bus runs between JR Yasugi Station.
