Murou Art Forest

As I reflect on 2023, Murou Art Forest in Nara is one of my top picks.

This park is home to a variety of art installations, making it a great place for photos.

On weekdays, the park is relatively quiet, so you can take your time exploring and taking pictures.

The best way to get to Murou Art Forest is by car, but it is also possible to take the train. The train ride is a bit long, but it is a scenic route.

Muroo Art Forest in Japan is a hidden gem for art and nature enthusiasts. This enchanting forest is a tranquil oasis where creativity and natural beauty converge.

The forest is dotted with captivating sculptures and art installations, seamlessly integrated into the lush surroundings. Strolling along the forest trails, you'll encounter a delightful mix of contemporary and traditional art pieces, each evoking a sense of wonder and connection with nature.

One of the highlights is the Bamboo Grove, where intricate bamboo sculptures blend seamlessly with the towering bamboo trees. It's a serene and meditative space that invites you to pause and reflect.

Muroo Art Forest also hosts seasonal exhibitions and events, adding to the dynamic experience. Whether you visit in the vibrant colors of spring, the lush greens of summer, or the fiery foliage of autumn, the forest offers a unique and ever-changing backdrop for art appreciation.

Keep in mind that Muroo Art Forest provides a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life, making it a perfect destination for those seeking tranquility, artistic inspiration, and a deeper connection with nature. It's a place where creativity flourishes amidst the serene beauty of the natural world.

Off the bit destination but must visit if you are in Nara. Can be accessed using public transport, need to walk for 15 to 20 min. From last bust stop. Lots of Cherry blossom Sakura trees on the way and within this destination. Kids friendly landscape. You can take your own food and enjoy it here. Spectacular views with beautiful arts and design.

Beautiful park to go to if you want to admire art but still be surrounded by nature. It's a good place to visit especially for families with children who like to run around and climb things. You can bring snacks inside and relax. You can bring your pets inside too.

We went around the end of summer and saw many beautiful dragonflies with bright colors.

The road going up here is quite narrow so it can be a bit of a challenge for new drivers.

Entrance fee us 410 yen.

It’s a wonderful place for some solitary moments.

Absolutely loved these beautiful spaces with massive art works interchanging with Nature.

It's a beautiful park to go in Nara. The art installations are nice and the space is spacious.

Very nice park, a little bit far from town.

This is really a beautiful park. You can come here to relax and immerse yourself in nature...!^^~

I went there for a short trip to the mountains, it was nice to have place like this in the country side, if the place sells some fast food or deserts, it would have been nice.

Bizarre place… supposedly a village revival project… interesting but not exactly fascinating although the surroundings are nice.

Lonely tree stands tall,
Mysterious path leads the way,
What secrets does it hold?

Lovely open air museum

Great landscape art and peaceful spot for short walk and picnic

Nice place to visit

Beautiful

大自然の中の、突如とある不思議なモニュメント‼

上に乗ったり、地下を通ったり、空気の流れがとてもよく、癒される場所でした！

写真映えもよく、若者が多かったように思います！

ただ、行く道中が細い道が続くため通行注意⚠です！

入場料は大人410円かかり、中学生以下は無料でした。

犬も🐶連れて行けるので、広々と整地されたところで犬を遊ばすのも、わんこ達のストレス発散になるので良いと思います！

まだ、そんなに知られていない穴場です❣

室生寺の駐車場から1キロほど上がっていくとあります
思っていたより大きなオブジェ、中に入ったり上に登ったりと子供も楽しめます

昔は穴場スポットらしかったですが
今は映えスポットとして有名になりかなりのGWは駐車場も満車状態でした

山上まで細い道なので車で行く事に少し注意してください。しかし、駐車場も広く園内も色々なオブジェがあり楽しめました。私達はワンちゃんも一緒だったのですが、人を気にせず楽しめますよ。

写真映えするスポットが多く、最後に背景など、どういった作品なのかも見ると、なるほどぉ〜と納得できのもあり、とても楽しめました。
キンモクセイが咲いている頃にまた行きたい😊
家族でピクニックに来ている方もいて、土日でしたがそこまで混んでおらずとても楽しめました🙆🏻‍♂
