Superb museum next to the station. The architecture is amazing and they have a great cafe.

This museum makes a stop in Marugame totally worth it. Only about 45 minutes from Okayama by train (over a beautiful bridge!) the museum houses Inokuma san’s beautiful collection in a wonderful building. The museum shops and the cafe are some of the best I’ve seen. Their seasonal exhibitions (autumn 2023 is textile genius Reiko Sudo) converse with the permanent collection and are engaging and unusual.

You can take a look at 1st floor for free and even sit at the chair in the middle of the lobby, that's very comfortable ~

Peaceful place. Wonderful arts outside of the museum.

they have English wall text! They didn’t even have that at the most popular museums in Tokyo (the most populated city in the world 😅) I was very impressed. I came for the MIMOCA EYE and it was a fantastically curated show of current artists in Japan. The museum is off the beaten path in terms of the city, but there is a JR station literally right next to it. If you have a chance to go, please do ☺️ I am currently studying Japanese and have my bachelors in fine arts and I especially loved the little pencils with quotes about art and museums from Genichiro himself that are available for purchase in the gift shop!
