Located on the slopes of Mt. Ashitaka in Nagaizumi Town, this cultural complex is based on the concept of "flowers, art, and food," blending nature and art.Clematis HillThis museum not only allows you to admire the artwork inside, but also features a natural garden called the "Clematis Garden" where you can enjoy seasonal flowers and plants, making it a great place to stroll through the lush garden. There are also restaurants such as Italian and Japanese restaurants and cafes on the premises, making it the perfect place to spend a relaxing holiday, and it's one of my husband's favorite places!

This day was a date to celebrate my husband's 41st birthday on August 14th (Monday), so we decided to revisit this place after about two and a half years.
We left in time for lunch, enjoyed a refreshing drive on the Shin-Tomei Expressway, and arrived safely before noon.
Although autumn has officially begun, the trees are still lush and green, and the gleaming bodies of the Maseratis speeding through the street trees reflect the beautiful greenery.
In front of the ticket center at the main counter, you'll be greeted by "Flowers Blooming Tomorrow," a 2012 work by artist Yayoi Kusama, overflowing with love and hope!
The shops lining the entrance include "NOHARA BOOKS," which sells books related to lifestyle with themes such as art, photography, nature, and picture books, as well as gardening shops selling houseplants and general merchandise stores!
Although it was during the Obon holiday period, we didn't get caught in any traffic jams and arrived at the restaurant a little earlier than our reservation time, so we decided to kill some time at a bookstore.
Now, we're heading to "RISTORANTE PRIMAVERA" for a memorable birthday lunch!
