Children are welcome. Admission is 500 yen for elementary and junior high school students, and free for elementary, junior high and high school students every Saturday. As the visit centres on viewing the garden, we ask visitors to be quiet.

Allow 2-3 hours to see the garden and the main galleries. Adding matcha in the tearoom and a special exhibition can take more than three hours.

The 50,000-tsubo garden is beautiful in every season: fresh greenery in spring, deep green pines and moss in summer, autumn colours set against the dry landscape garden, and in winter the white sand and green pine garden under snow, like an ink painting. Each season has its appeal.

There is a tearoom in the museum where you can have matcha and a matching Japanese sweet while looking at the garden (charged; please see the information in the museum). Bowls by Shimane potters are used, making it a proper experience.

The museum holds many modern Japanese paintings, including more than 120 works by Yokoyama Taikan along with pieces by Takeuchi Seiho and Hashimoto Kansetsu. It also displays Kitaoji Rosanjin's ceramics, along with children's illustration, lacquerware and wood carving. The new wing holds regular exhibitions of contemporary Japanese painting.

Groups of 20 or more receive a discount (adults 2,200 yen, university students 1,700 yen, high school students 800 yen, elementary and junior high school students 400 yen). Holders of a physical disability, rehabilitation or mental health certificate pay half the individual rate.

The garden may be viewed and photographed from outside, but photography of the works in the galleries is restricted. Please see the official website or the notices in the museum for the current rules.

There is a tearoom where you can rest or have a light meal while looking at the garden, and a tearoom for matcha. The museum shop also sells catalogues and original goods.
