Nanjo Art Museum

The Nanjo Art Museum is the southernmost art museum in Japan, located in the Chinen region of Nanjo City, in the southern part of Okinawa’s main island. Nestled in the deep forest of Sefa-utaki, a World Heritage Site and the most sacred site of the Ryukyu Kingdom, the museum is situated in a perfect location, overlooking the ocean of Nirai Kanai (the sacred land of the gods in the Ryukyuan Shinto religion), where the sun rises, and resonates and blends in with the surrounding nature.
