Appreciate paintings and sculptures at a museum surrounded by verdant gardens

About this spot

A museum housed in the former residence of industrialist Ohtani Takejiro, surrounded by a peaceful Japanese garden. Featuring primarily modern Japanese paintings and sculptures, you can leisurely view works in the cool interior away from summer heat. Enjoying the garden alongside the collection offers a cultural experience distinct from visits to temples and shrines.

西宮市の門戸厄神 東光寺で営まれる「厄神夏まつり」です。2026年は8月19日(水)17時から20時30分までの開催で、日本三大厄神のひとつにも数えられる古刹の境内が、夏祭りの灯りと参拝客のにぎわいに包まれます。古くから厄除けの霊場として親しまれてきたこの寺で、家族の健康を願いながら祭りの熱気を味わうひとときです。昼間に訪れた甲山森林公園の自然や神呪寺の静けさとは異なる、夜ならではのにぎわいを楽しんでください。

祭り当日は境内周辺が混み合うことがあります。公共交通機関の利用が安心です。夜は虫が出やすいので虫除け対策を。荒天時の開催可否は寺の公式情報で確認しましょう。
