( Per group ( up to 2 people) )Overview
The Enoura Observatory is a unique museum and place to feel nature and modern art founded by Hiroshi Sugimoto. It is located in the west of Odawara, about 90 minutes from Tokyo by a car. Mr. Sugimoto calls this place his "remains" which still live and expands. In the place, there are galleries of seascapes, fossils, stones, tea house, stages, mikan field shrines and many more for you to explore. This space will give a sense to feel how ancient people see a seascape. Our recommendation is to stay one night in Atami to enjoy the hot spring, however you can catch a bullet train in the afternoon to arrive in Kyoto by evening.
