Visit Arishima Museum
Arishima, Niseko Town, Japan
Arishima Museum introduces novelist Takeo Arishima through his writing, life and connection with the surrounding farmland. The story extends beyond literature: in 1922 he released his farm to its tenant farmers for shared ownership. Exhibits place that decision alongside the work of a writer associated with the Shirakaba literary circle. A visit adds social and cultural context to a stay otherwise centred on mountains, and makes a thoughtful stop in Niseko Town.
