Museum of art of Nasu Ashino and a stone STONE PLAZA

"Stone" but interwoven warmth, flash, air and sound are enjoyed by the five senses.

Nasu where the Edo Period is conspicuous as a post-town and is learned about as a producing center of a stone and Ashino. Sekizo by whom it was left from the old days for a town is reused, and it's built museum of art. New space using old reorganization of a warehouse and Ashino stone is established by a hand of an architect and Kuma Kengo, and it's open in 2001. The one built newly, "gallery of a stone and light" and "gallery of a stone and water". The peculiar space where the material with the warmth piled Ashino stone of the feature up can be sensed at a surface. A work of artists related to Nasu is displayed in the gallery, and you can enjoy yourself together with art appreciation.

Because it's museum of art of a stone, the seen display contents are also enriched.

Then "stone warehouse galleries" using the biggest storehouse are holding plan display "Kuma Kengo and stone" in the stone warehouse left altogether. While Kuma Kengo was designing using a stone, the part of the one you made use of or the building in all over the world actually is reproduced, and what kind of technology is being introduced? A performance of a piano is also used as a concert hall and that's performed. The stone "tea-ceremony room" and "learning room of a stone" etc. highlight also first in Japan in other ones are much. When it rains, the surface of the stone gets wet, and an expression changes, so the different artistic atmosphere can be felt again with a fine day.

Jewel search Treasure stone park

It doesn't stop, excitedly. Only the jewel search which is dug and found

The mining site where a treasure stone park imagined a mine. A jewel search, Experience, can, it's a theme park. I'll challenge power stone mining of a crystal and amethyst in restriction time with a scoop and a bucket actually.
2 of "crystal valley" by which necessary "underground mine" and the day's reception can reserve a mining area beforehand. "Underground mine" passes through a dim tunnel and cooperates each other every team, and is idle while competing for the mining amount. It's 1 team at one mining, so it can be immersed in mining by its pace.

A child and adult get rapturous and play all too soon.

That "crystal valley" shines from the bottom on the river where the full length 60m is also here, I look for a brilliant jewel. It can be visited casually because reservation is unnecessary here.
The charm of this Property is going to be able to play by family all the members beyond the generation by far the most. An adult can return to the childish innocence with nature and enjoy himself by moving a hand with a child and looking for a jewel, too. I'm relieved without also getting wet in the day when it rains because there is all Property in indoor. A found stone brings it home and is OK. I'll bring it home as a gift with an insisted memory.

Forest in Nasu Heisei

It's natural to its heart's content at the vast forest where I come to about 560 ha, Experience.

Staff/staff member which is called the interpreter which knew everything of the surrounding nature is stationed in field center.

Of the creature who can come only on the day when it rains and water along a trunk, it's called off that Mori will smell and hear how to enjoy oneself the day when it rains the color, the tone and the atmosphere and would also be good.

I take shelter from the rain at a base in the park and a field center.

A free mini program for 30 minutes put into effect twice a day is also recommended. The contents are various by a season, and the preliminary reservation is unnecessary. A green season also opens a cafe daily. It seems to be time of the cure to look at rainy nature while receiving coffee of a Nasu pride. The branch schedule in a cafe can be confirmed in HP.

Nasu stained glass museum of art

Antique stained glass in 1800-1900 's is exhibited.

The museum of art where the antique stained glass made in the United Kingdom mainly is exhibited in 1800-1900 's. The outward appearance I have in the motif of a traditional building in a British Cotswolds area "house of manners" seems to be a British local city. Add to be surprised to the stained glass an owner bought and be designing a building. Stained glass of the magnificent scale seems to be a church in Europe in the Middle Ages and as if I had here originally, is put in a high-ceilinged wall in the building.

I use the five senses fully and find "flash, the smell, beauty, the tone and the style".

A concept is the museum of art where "flash, the smell, beauty, the tone and the style" are enjoyed by the five senses. There are 6 a day-7 times and playing of antique music box and pipe organ until closure from 10:00, and it's possible to be satisfied with the world with the color while hearing its sound. When devoting oneself to the sound of the antique music box and pipe organ, it's in the feeling which has time-travelled to Europe in the Middle Ages unconsciously. A cafe and a shop are also juxtaposed in the site. The Experience department which can make stained glass is also held. All display is indoor, so it's most suitable to have time on the day when it rains.

The work by which a famous story of a painting fused with trick Art is displayed by "Michelangelo house". The space where Capella Sistina was reproduced by trick art 360 times in particular is the force of the highlights.
The "production atelier" where it's only in Nasu to want to recommend you another point. The site where trick art is being drawn actually can be visited. After all the new discovery that trick art was drawn by hand. Nasu is dotted with much museum of art, that the form that a picture is being drawn can be judged by live broadcasting, only here. A very valuable spot.
