Chikkyo Art Museum

Stay at Chikushō Artisan House, a restored 100-year-old machiya nestled just a 7-minute walk from Chikushō Museum. Its rooms feature tatami mats and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the museum’s karesansui garden. Guests enjoy complimentary tea ceremony sessions and can book private sumi-e ink painting workshops through the HopeGoo app for an immersive cultural experience

Just a 5-minute stroll east of Chikushō Museum lies Kasaoka Ceramics Studio, showcasing contemporary sculptures crafted with Seto ware techniques. A short 300-meter further is Paper Gallery, an interactive space dedicated to recycled paper art, hosting daily origami lantern-making workshops at 10 AM. Both venues feature café corners serving local rice-based matcha mochi, blending creativity with regional flavors
