Tanaka Isson Memorial Museum

田中一村記念美術館

Kagoshima · Kyushu

Dedicated to painter Tanaka Isson, celebrated for his vivid depictions of Amami Oshima’s nature. Part of Amami Park, the museum is instantly recognisable for its cluster of dome-shaped roofs raised on stilts over a reflecting pond — a modern take on the island’s traditional high-floor "takakura" storehouses.

Why we picked it

Many travelers focus on more popular attractions in Amami Oshima, overlooking this cultural gem.
