Rokuzan Bijutsukan (Rokuzan Art Museum)
Rokuzan Bijutsukan (Rokuzan Art Museum) Review
The museum displays the work of Rokuzan Ogiwara, a sculptor who was influenced by Auguste Rodin and pioneered modern sculptural styles in Japan. He is especially known for his female figures and male figures in heroic poses. This ivy-covered brick building with a stunning bell tower is in Hotaka, 10 stops north of Matsumoto Station on the JR Oito Line. From Hotaka Station it's a 10-minute walk to the museum.
