Sights Guide
| 1) | Hirose River Museum of Art
 |
The museum was opened to the public at the remains of the atelier and drawing classroom of the local artist, Yoshio Kondo. It’s registered as the first country’s tangible cultural properties in Japan in the buildings after the war. If you see the Hirose River from the atelier upstairs, you can actually feel that Maebashi is really “The City of Water, Greenery and Poetry”. |
