Overview

The Hoki Museum was opened in 2010 to exhibit the realistic paintings collected by Mr. Masao Hoki, the founder of Hogi Medical. As a hall of fame for realistic paintings in Japan, it attracts attention from both Japan and abroad. The collection includes approximately 500 works by leading Japanese realistic painters, including works by Sosuke Morimoto. The exhibited works are periodically rotated, so there is always something new to discover. The museum building itself is highly regarded in the architectural world for its unique structure. The gallery on the ground floor has a structure with a 30-meter tip floating in the air, which surprises visitors. In addition, the museum has a restaurant called "Hanau" where you can enjoy dishes made with local ingredients while admiring the beautiful scenery. Experience a special space where you can fully enjoy art, nature, and gourmet food.
