Honma Museum of Art

本間美術館

Yamagata · Tohoku

A museum and Japanese strolling garden (Kakubuen) in Sakata built around the art collection and villa of the Honma family, once Japan's largest landowners.

Why we picked it

A refined art-and-garden estate that rarely appears on Tohoku itineraries focused on Dewa Sanzan and Tsuruoka.
