The Must-See Miho Museum
Barry LouieThe Miho Museum is unforgettable for its I.M. Pei design, rare, ancient pieces, and natural surroundings. A must-see.
Nestled in the dense, green hills of Shigaraki about an hour’s drive from Kyoto is one of Japan’s least-known architectural gems. In the 1970’s, Mihoko Koyama, wealthy benefactor and the leader of a religious organization (dare I say, cult) Shinji Shumeikai, commissioned world-renowned architect I.M. Pei to design a bell tower for the religion’s headquarters - in fact, the bell tower can be seen from the Miho Museum.
The museum is usually closed every Monday unless it is a National Holiday, in which case the next business day will be closed. The museum may also be closed during exhibit changes, so it is recommended to check Miho Museum's schedule before planning a visit.
The museum is also closed every winter, from around early/mid-December to mid-March.
From JR Ishiyama Station, take the Teisan Bus bound for Miho Museum. The journey takes about 50 minutes and you should get off at the last stop.
If driving, the museum can be reached from Shigaraki Interchange in about 15 minutes.

พิพิธภัณฑ์มิโฮะนั้นชวนตราตรึงกับการออกแบบของไอ.เอ็ม.เปย์ที่ทั้งหายากและเก่าแก่และรายล้อมด้วยธรรมชาติ ต้องห้ามพลาด
Miho Museum in the hills of Shiga Prefecture is a beautiful building, but it totally upstages the art exhibited there.
พิพิทธภัณฑ์มิโฮะลึกเข้าไปในภูเขาของจังหวัดชิกะ เป็นอาคารที่สวยมาก ส่วนงานศิลปะต่างๆ นั้นไม่สามารถเทียบเคียงได้เลย
