植田正治写真美術館は、鳥取県伯耆町の大山麓に佇む、世界的写真家・植田正治の作品を約12,000点収蔵・展示する美術館です。植田調と呼ばれる独自の演出写真は、鳥取砂丘や山陰の空を背景に被写体をオブジェのように配置した構図が特徴で、日本国内外で高く評価されています。1995年に開館した館は建築家・高松伸の設計で、自然と溶け合うモダンな佇まいが見どころ。館前の水面に映る「逆さ大山」も写真好きにはたまらない景観ポイントです。展示は定期的に変わるため、何度訪れても新発見があります。交通はJR岸本駅からタクシー約5分、米子駅から約20分。ゆったり鑑賞できる静かな空間で、写真芸術と大山の風景が同時に楽しめるおすすめスポットです。
Shoji Ueda Museum of Photography is located at the foot of Mt. Daisen in Hoki Town, Tottori. The museum is dedicated to the works of Shoji Ueda, a world-renowned photographer born in Tottori, and features a wide range of his photographs from iconic series to rare works. His distinctive style, often called Ueda-cho, places subjects against vast skies and landscapes, creating carefully composed and timeless images. Opened in 1995, the museum building was designed by architect Shin Takamatsu and blends beautifully with the surrounding nature. The reflection of Mt. Daisen on the water in front of the museum is also a highlight. Exhibitions change regularly, so each visit offers something new. It is easily accessible by taxi, about 5 minutes from JR Kishimoto Station or around 20 minutes from Yonago Station. A peaceful and inspiring place for photography lovers and anyone interested in art and architecture.
