Specialty exhibition halls
The works displayed in the museum are ingenious, and they have received higher evaluations overseas than in Japan, and have been awarded three stars in the Michelin Travel Guide. The museum is divided into three parts: the main hall, the new hall and the garden. The main pavilion uses more than 10 thousand-year-old trees as pillars, combined with traditional Japanese techniques and Western wooden house construction techniques, and is built into a pyramid shape. The main museum mainly displays the kimono works of the "Light Sound" series that Mr. Kubota Ichitake has carefully created throughout his life. This series of works takes the magnificent and dignified Mount Fuji as the theme, and depicts the unparalleled beauty of Mount Fuji and its underside from autumn to winter. When you visit along the corridor, you will feel like you are in the middle of it, like a dream, which brings artistic moving and shocking. In the back of the main building, there is also a small tea room "Ichizhuan" where you can taste authentic Japanese matcha while gazing at the beautiful natural scenery. The new building has a unique style and is built with Ryukyu limestone. The hall mainly displays dragonfly beads collected by Mr. Kubota Ichitake from all over the world. Behind the main building is a garden designed by Mr. Ichitake Kubota. Ryukyu limestone, Mt. Fuji lava, various plants and spring water form a unique atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy the four seasons landscape of spring cherry, summer green, autumn maple and winter snow. Walking along the garden path, you are sure to have a special experience. The Kubota Ichitake Art Museum has two major themes: "The Trinity of Man, Nature and Art" and "New Culture and New Art." One Bamboo World".

Mount Fuji In-depth Tour Day 5
This day was different from the bad weather of the previous day. It cleared up. Before leaving the B&B, we saw the big Mt. Fuji. We are going back to downtown Tokyo today. We will first leave our luggage at the station. We will take the bus to the scenic spot. Since we have to come back to take the bus, we choose a store that is closer. The first stop is the Kubota Ichitake Museum. We didn’t plan to visit the museum. We just wanted to take pictures on Maple Leaf Avenue. We didn’t expect that we could go directly into the museum to the ticket office. The whole thing is very similar to the scene of Hayao Miyazaki. The vast water and trees and the door standing in a certain place. Due to limited time, we did not buy tickets to visit and turned back. We walked back to the Music and Forest Museum. The maple leaves and buildings alone are beautiful. We had Fuji Tenpura Idatsu for lunch. We ordered a Mt. Fuji for one person. It was very satisfying 😋. The next part of taking the bus is very important‼ ️This is great information
We took the Fuji Express on our return trip
Not every train has a Mt. Fuji painted on it
So make sure you check the train number and platform
If you booked your ticket online in advance
You need to pick up your ticket at the JR station
So if you enter from Tokyo, make sure to pick it up before going to Yamanashi
We didn't notice this rule and only found out before we got on the train
Google found that other passengers were going to Yamanashi from other places
They didn't pass through any JR stations at all He told the platform staff that they were allowed to pass
We told the platform staff that day and they were also allowed to pass🥺
But if you know about this rule, don't take the risk😮💨
We stayed at da haus when we returned to Tokyo
I've introduced it in another article
The staff speaks Chinese👍🏻
Although the room is not big, it has everything
Small kitchen and washing machine👌🏻

Kubota Itchiku Art Museum
#JapanTravel
Visiting the Kubota Ichiku Museum was an unforgettable cultural and artistic experience. Located in the heart of nature, the museum combines the beauty of architecture with the splendor of artwork. I enjoyed viewing the wonderful collection of kimonos created by artist Kubota Ichiku, reflecting his mastery of the traditional art of Tsujigahana dyeing.
The museum itself is an architectural masterpiece as its design blends in with the surrounding landscape. The beauty of the Japanese garden and the stone corridors add a sense of tranquility and serenity to the place. The museum tour was an enriching experience of knowledge and beauty, and I learned about the details and secrets of the kimono dyeing technique.
I highly recommend visiting the museum for anyone interested in traditional Japanese art and wanting to spend some quality time surrounded by the beauty of nature and culture.

This small museum was beautifully designed and personally built by the artist to display some of his favorite hand painted and dyed kimonos, as well as his eclectic collection of glass beads and ethnic figurines from his many travels. But the focus remains the extraordinary silk kimonos which were created using an ancient technique called tsujigahana. Hand painted panels stained differentially with a kaleidoscope of dyes and swaths of silk twisted and tied to sequester color and produce relief and three dimensional form. The twenty or so kimonos are an explosion of color with representations of nearby Mt Fuji and different seasons.
The museum is hidden in a wooded lot not far from several major vantage points for Mt Fuji. If has a wonderful tea room inside that should not be missed.
I want to come here again in 2024.
