Nakasatsunai Art Village

Nakasatsunai Art Village

中札内美術村

Hokkaido

Nakasatsunai Art Village is a group of small art museums set in a birch and oak wood in Nakasatsunai village, run by the confectionery company Rokkatei. Woodland paths connect the galleries, several of which occupy relocated timber buildings, and a restaurant operates on part of the site during the open season. Paid admission covers the woodland grounds and the main gallery, while several of the smaller galleries are free.

Why it's hidden

A corporate art collection given away in a working shelterbelt forest, four kilometres from the same company's better-known garden and almost never visited on its own.
