What other travelers are saying about Asahikawa Museum of Sculpture
Nice sculpture museum. It’s very small but affordable. Students are free and adults are Y300 (~$2.15). We spent about 30-40 min. Building is beautiful and exhibits are impressive. Asahikawa doesn’t have much in the way of tourist attractions outside of the zoo, but this one of the few. It’s worth going just for the building itself.
This is Teijiro Nakahara sculpture museum. This beautiful building was built as meeting room for army officer. Now many sculptures are exhibited in all floor.
Nice place to visit if you are in Asahikawa!
It's a combination of science and fun, mostly for kids! Warning, lots of kids!!!!
I really didn't expect the place to be this crowded and full of kids! I thought it's a museum only but it turns out that it's a fun type museum Japanese style I guess!
If you like to explore Japanese ideas then this is a great place to visit.
Not sure if there are any actual classes as the second floor looks like a school with classes for wood works and other interesting stuff!
Kind and happy fullness
When you visit here ,you smile and feel free
I was a bit nervous about the permanent exhibition on the second floor as there were many busts.
I was shocked, but then I relaxed when I saw that half the floor was filled with large exhibits.
The building is the only nationally designated Important Cultural Property in Asahikawa.
I really like the small external staircase in the corner of the portico and the internal staircase.
It's about 6km north of Asahikawa Station, so I rented a bike at the station and was able to take my time looking around in 4 hours and 10 minutes, going from Tokiwa Park to Asahibashi Bridge to Hokuchin Memorial Hall to Sculpture Art Museum to Yasushi Inoue Memorial Hall to Starfin Baseball Stadium. I ended up staying at Tokiwa Park for a long time as I had a very good impression of it.
