Hokkaido Asahikawa Museum of Art

Located within the expansive Tokiwa Park, the Asahikawa Museum of Art stands since its opening in 1982. The museum, a brick structure surrounded by greenery, showcases outdoor sculptures that contrast beautifully with the crystal clear blue sky. The overall landscape appears like a gorgeous painting.

The museum hosts both special exhibitions that introduce a wide range of works from artists both domestic and abroad, and permanent exhibitions that feature works related to the region. Given that the Asahikawa city and the northern region of Hokkaido are known for their thriving woodcraft industry, the exhibits showcasing "wooden creations" such as traditional woodworking, contemporary wooden art, and woodcrafts are a must-see.

Events are also held from time to time. By checking the schedule beforehand, you may have the chance to spend quality time with an unexpected masterpiece.

The hall also houses a café and a rest area, perfect for taking a breather from admiring the artwork. With its peaceful atmosphere that allows for a leisurely appreciation of art, the museum enjoys high popularity among art enthusiasts.
