Shinshiro Community Center Mizu to Midori Art Museum Suginoko

"It's such a waste that all these amazing works of art are hidden here deep in the mountains!" According to Mr. Mitsuo Nakamae, one of the artists whose works are shown here, this is the highest form of praise he has received. The surprisingly valuable art pieces are displayed neatly and the only information written on the labels are the artist's name and place of birth. This is because the curators want visitors to simply feel the art with their hearts without being influenced by unnecessary information.

Horikoshishaku Kannnon

The principal image of this religious site is the 11-faced Goddess of Mercy which is rarely shown to the public. It is known to cast a miraculous cure to those with chronic spasms. The 600-year old camellia tree found here has been recognized by the prefecture as a natural monument. The view from within the compound located 650m above sea level is also worth checking out.
