Imabari City Tamakawa Museum of Modern Art (今治市玉川近代美術館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

An art museum housed in a verdant hilltop in Tamakawa Town, Imabari City, with a collection of modern art from Japan and abroad. Works by masters like Picasso, Miró, and Renoir are displayed alongside paintings by artists with local connections, allowing for contemplative viewing in a quiet environment. The air-conditioned interior provides relief from summer heat. From the exhibition room windows, you can see the surrounding mountains, with the museum itself blending into the landscape. By spending quiet time here at the start of the day, the subsequent hot spring town stroll and valley walk will feel more enjoyable.

Best time to visit

Approximately 50 minutes required. Ideal for viewing while staying cool during the hottest afternoon hours.
