The 21st Mishima Yukio Literary Museum Lake Salon will be held on Saturday, October 10, 2026, in the audiovisual room at Soho Fureai Hall in Yamanakako. Reception begins at 13:00 and the program is scheduled from 13:30 until about 16:00.
Key Facts For Travelers
Arrive For The 13:00 Reception
The program begins at 13:30, but the official listing opens reception at 13:00. Use that half hour for check-in and payment rather than planning to reach the venue at the session start.
The listed finish is approximately 16:00, so allow some flexibility when booking a bus or arranging another activity afterward. The official page does not publish a separate late-admission rule.
Bring Exact Cash And Writing Materials
General visitor admission is ¥1,700 for adults, ¥1,420 for high-school and university students, and ¥1,140 for elementary and junior-high students. Separate village-resident rates are listed, but international visitors should budget for the general rates unless they qualify as Yamanakako residents.
Payment is collected in cash at the venue, and the organizer specifically asks visitors to avoid needing change. The fee includes an admission ticket to the Mishima Yukio Literary Museum. Bring a pen or pencil because attendees may write questions for the lecturer.
Know The Program Before Attending
The featured lecturer is Inuhiko Yomota, whose listed fields include comparative culture, film studies, essays and poetry. Museum director Hideaki Sato and researcher Takeshi Yamanaka are named as discussants.
The official event listing is in Japanese and does not state that English interpretation will be provided. International visitors who need language assistance, advance-entry clarification or accessibility information should call the official contact before making a dedicated trip.
Public Transport And Driving Access
By local bus, the official guide lists about 25 minutes from Mt. Fuji Station or about 40 minutes from Gotemba Station. Get off at Bungaku-no-Mori-Koen-mae and walk about five minutes.
Central Highway Bus passengers can use Yamanakako Asahigaoka Bus Terminal, about an eight-minute walk from the venue. Drivers should leave the Yamanakako Interchange and follow National Route 138 toward Gotemba for about four kilometers. Check the day’s timetable and road conditions independently.
