Warhol in Rural Japan
Most visitors will undoubtedly come to Ikaho for its famous onsen, but Ikaho hosts some interesting parks and museums that tourists might also enjoy.
Ikaho Sistina is an interactive museum of op-art, or trick-art as it is called in Japan. It is designed specifically for fun photo opportunities. It also has a monkey theater and, like its name suggests, a replica of the Sistine Chapel.

An annex to Tokyo's Hara Museum, Hara Museum ARC focuses on the same type of contemporary art. In addition to its indoor exhibition space, ARC's location in the spacious countryside allows it to place permanent pieces throughout its natural landscape. One such example is a giant version of Andy Warhol's iconic Campbell's soup can, which stands curiously amongst the trees.
Located on the same lot as the ARC Museum, Ikaho Green Bokujo is a farm-themed amusement park designed for kids and families. Pony rides, sheep petting, and butter making classes are all available.
Hiking trails, camping sites and boat rentals can be found further up the mountain around Lake Haruna.

The sites are all located on the bus route between Ikaho and Shibukawa Station. Hara Museum Arc and Ikaho Green Bokujo are located at the Green Bokujo Mae stop, and Ikaho Sistina is at the Orihara Junisha stop. From either direction the ride should take 10-15 minutes and cost about 500 yen.
