Ryusen-en, a nationally registered tangible cultural property
Ryusen-en was completed in the 1930s as a retirement home for Ryuichi Sano's parents.
The house, built using traditional wooden construction methods with carefully selected materials, stands in a Japanese garden with a stroll around the garden, making the most of the natural beauty of the approximately 6,600m2 site.
When it was donated to the museum by the surviving members of the Sano family in 1977, it was named Ryusen-en, a combination of the character "Ryu" from Sano Ryuichi's name and the name of the spring that gushes forth in the town of Mishima, known for its clear streams.
The gardens are open to the public and can be enjoyed during museum opening hours.
The sight of the 100-year-old weeping cherry tree, located on the banks of Shinji Pond, which draws spring water from Mt. Fuji, in full bloom is one of the most memorable spring scenes in Mishima. Pine trees, plum trees, azaleas, and Japanese maples are also arranged in the garden, and the garden is decorated with the beauty of the seasons. The kingfisher, the bird of Mishima City, also frequently visits the garden, and its chirping echoes through the garden.
The house is usually closed to the public, but is used primarily for courses held by the museum, such as tea ceremonies and art appreciation.
In 1997, the front gate and the house's Shoin Room, Sukiya Room, and Reception Room were registered as tangible cultural properties by the nation.

Mishima Baikamo no Sato
This is a Mishima Baikamo growing area, located next to the Gashinen across from the restaurant entrance, on the grounds of the Sano Art Museum. Mishima Baikamo is a perennial aquatic plant of the Ranunculaceae family, discovered in 1930 in the Kohamaike Pond at Rakujuen Park in the city. It is characterized by thin, thread-like leaves that are submerged in water and pretty white flowers that resemble plum blossoms, and it prefers the cool, clean spring water and sunlight of Mt. Fuji. It blooms all year round, delighting viewers.
Conservation efforts are being carried out by the NPO Groundwork Mishima and the Mishima Yusui-Kai.
