Beautiful museum. Went here for the Ayanishiki Textile exhibit where stunning kimonos used in Noh plays were on display. They were quite old though, so we weren’t allowed to take pictures. But I took pictures of the Buddha statues in the lobby area and the garden. The garden itself is quite stunning too. It’s really a lovely museum you could spend a few hours in just wandering around.
What a lovely museum with an even more lovely garden. I went there early morning right after the opening and it was peaceful and quiet. You should get tickets in advance though as it could get quite busy.
Reservation is a must!! The garden is far more impressive than the paintings. If you’re not very familiar with Japanese art, the exhibits might feel a bit underwhelming, but the beautiful garden more than makes up for it. I’d love to come back in the fall when the leaves change.
The museum houses rare artifacts from China,Japan, and East Asia, boasting a diverse and extremely high-quality collection, besides the stunning natural scenery of it's garden making it a tranquil oasis worth visiting in every season. The museum's café is also quite remarkable, located next to the best glass windows offering views of the garden, attracting many visitors.
Advance time-entry tickets were required for admission, unless you’re a member. The museum is situated in an upscale neighborhood, with high-end boutiques nearby. During my visit, the featured exhibit was Chinese Paintings and Medieval Japanese Ink-Wash Paintings—a beautifully curated display of exquisite works. There were also five smaller exhibits showcasing ancient relics. The collection was impressive, though modest in size. The museum’s architecture and grounds were a treat in themselves. I especially enjoyed the beautifully landscaped gardens. Insect repellent was thoughtfully provided at the garden entrance.
