Daytime; the garden shines in azalea and autumn-leaf seasons
Opened in 1947 as one of Japan's first private art museums, the Homma combines a collection of scrolls, ceramics and screens with a celebrated strolling garden that borrows Mount Chokai as a backdrop. The garden is a designated scenic beauty, lovely in azalea and autumn-leaf seasons.
