The art museum that keeps on giving. The whole place is built like a Japanese garden as you turn around the corner and find yet more beautiful art. It is also surrounded by a Japanese garden that blends in with the scenic mountains in the distance. The exhibits today showed many scrolls of birds, trees and flowers along with artistic canvases and huge screens of Mt. Fuji and other sights in Japan that were made in the Showa and Taisho periods. There were maki-e gold inlaid boxes and even a whole cabinet. I want to examine the detail more closely. The ceramics collection was small yet charming. When you get to the gift shop, it’s not the end. Keep following the arrows and you can see huge modern paintings that are quite stunning, too. And then go upstairs and there are more. These were my favorite of the modern collection. For transportation, get to the Yasugi JR station and then you will find a free shuttle bus to the museum. Make sure to get a time ticket at the museum for when you plan to return on the bus (for crowd-control). Google maps did not show me this route, but you can find the information on the Adach Museum website. Worth the visit even though it took my whole morning starting from Matsue station. Plus foreigners currently get discount tickets to the exhibits, like most the tourists site in Matsue. Note: I spent about 1 hour 15 minutes wandering the halls. Would have liked to spend more time, but I didn’t know when it would end, and I had to get to my next destinations
