[2025 Fujikawaguchiko Attraction] Travel Guide for Kubota Itchiku Art Museum (Updated Mar)

This day was different from the bad weather of the previous day. It cleared up. Before leaving the B&B, we saw the big Mt. Fuji. We are going back to downtown Tokyo today. We will first leave our luggage at the station. We will take the bus to the scenic spot. Since we have to come back to take the bus, we choose a store that is closer. The first stop is the Kubota Ichitake Museum. We didn’t plan to visit the museum. We just wanted to take pictures on Maple Leaf Avenue. We didn’t expect that we could go directly into the museum to the ticket office. The whole thing is very similar to the scene of Hayao Miyazaki. The vast water and trees and the door standing in a certain place. Due to limited time, we did not buy tickets to visit and turned back. We walked back to the Music and Forest Museum. The maple leaves and buildings alone are beautiful. We had Fuji Tenpura Idatsu for lunch. We ordered a Mt. Fuji for one person. It was very satisfying 😋. The next part of taking the bus is very important‼ ️This is great information We took the Fuji Express on our return trip Not every train has a Mt. Fuji painted on it So make sure you check the train number and platform If you booked your ticket online in advance You need to pick up your ticket at the JR station So if you enter from Tokyo, make sure to pick it up before going to Yamanashi We didn't notice this rule and only found out before we got on the train Google found that other passengers were going to Yamanashi from other places They didn't pass through any JR stations at all He told the platform staff that they were allowed to pass We told the platform staff that day and they were also allowed to pass🥺 But if you know about this rule, don't take the risk😮💨 We stayed at da haus when we returned to Tokyo I've introduced it in another article The staff speaks Chinese👍🏻 Although the room is not big, it has everything Small kitchen and washing machine👌🏻 #日本旅游 #富士山 #河口湖 #一竹kubota博物馆 #河口湖音乐森博物馆

#JapanTravel Visiting the Kubota Ichiku Museum was an unforgettable cultural and artistic experience. Located in the heart of nature, the museum combines the beauty of architecture with the splendor of artwork. I enjoyed viewing the wonderful collection of kimonos created by artist Kubota Ichiku, reflecting his mastery of the traditional art of Tsujigahana dyeing. The museum itself is an architectural masterpiece as its design blends in with the surrounding landscape. The beauty of the Japanese garden and the stone corridors add a sense of tranquility and serenity to the place. The museum tour was an enriching experience of knowledge and beauty, and I learned about the details and secrets of the kimono dyeing technique. I highly recommend visiting the museum for anyone interested in traditional Japanese art and wanting to spend some quality time surrounded by the beauty of nature and culture.

#2024wish This small museum was beautifully designed and personally built by the artist to display some of his favorite hand painted and dyed kimonos, as well as his eclectic collection of glass beads and ethnic figurines from his many travels. But the focus remains the extraordinary silk kimonos which were created using an ancient technique called tsujigahana. Hand painted panels stained differentially with a kaleidoscope of dyes and swaths of silk twisted and tied to sequester color and produce relief and three dimensional form. The twenty or so kimonos are an explosion of color with representations of nearby Mt Fuji and different seasons. The museum is hidden in a wooded lot not far from several major vantage points for Mt Fuji. If has a wonderful tea room inside that should not be missed. I want to come here again in 2024.
