Access from National Highway ５７ to Prefectural Road ６５７. It stands in the back of Fumio Asakura Memorial Park. Admission fee ５００ yen. Payment is cash only. You can take pictures in the hall. There are plenty of works by Mr. Shizuka, who laid the foundation for modern Japanese sculptures such as female statues, cat statues, and male statues. Outdoor sculptures are scattered in the park. It's a good idea to visit in a rough look like a field athletic.

It is a memorial hall for Mr. Asakura, a sculptor and a native of Oita. 40 masterpieces are exhibited, and the building is impressive, but it looks like a museum in a place rich in nature.
