Fodor's Expert Review Yamatane Museum of Art

The museum specializes in Nihonga (a type of traditional Japanese painting) from the Meiji period on and has a private collection of masterpieces by such painters as Taikan Yokoyama, Gyoshu Hayami, Kokei Kobayashi, and Gyokudo Kawai. Exhibits, which sometimes include works borrowed from other collections, change seven or eight times a year. Visitors can take a break at Café Tsubaki, which offers tea and wagashi (a genre of local sweets) as well as cake sets.
