What to do and see in Ginza / Tokyo Nihonbashi, Kanto: The Best Art Museums
Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

We happened upon this very special museum when we entered Marunouchi Brick Square and decided to view the current exhibition, which was "All About Mariano Fortuny." It did not disappoint! The historic red-brick building is a wonder in itself. Such a pleasure to walk through the rooms showcasing the exhibition. Easy to navigate, with the fashion and art beautifully displayed. There is also a lovely shop and a charming café. Also, right outside the museum, in Brick Square, are several restaurants and cafés. Definitely worth a visit!

Impressed by this private art collection with its diversity of European masters (Monet, Picasso and many others), Japanese artists including impressionists and other diverse works. I understand the building was completed not long ago, with exhibition space that is very well thought out and designed. Well worth a visit.

This museum exhibits the works of brush-and-ink calligraphy and poem by Mitsuo Aida, who is highly renowned for his truly original art style and unique sensibility. His strokes will give you new artistic experience and his messages in the poems will reach the bottom of your heart. Each work has an English translation. The rooms are large enough to make perfectly relaxed atmosphere.

The Tokyo station has a small but rather long gallery that features beautiful picture of famous and historical train station from all over the world. It’s a really nice gesture and touch to the station; it’s like an art gallery which exclusively features famous and historical train stations.

Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 14 reviews
Musee Hamaguchi Yozo: Yamasa Collection The only art museum to collect and permanently display the works of HAMAGUCHI Yozo. Founded in November 1998 by the Yamasa Corporation HAMAGUCHI Yozo was born the third son to Hamaguchi Gihei, the tenth generation head of Yamasa Shoyu (soy sauce), a company with a 350 year history. His father, Gihei, collected and studied paintings of the southern school. Tracing back five generations, one will also find Hamaguchi Kansuke, a painter of the southern school who was active during the later Edo period. This indicates that the Hamaguchi family generated many talented artists. HAMAGUCHI Yozo developed a unique etching technique known as color mezzotint and used this superb technique to fascinate many people with the tranquility of his work. He returned to Japan in 1996 after spending many years overseas in Paris and San Francisco. This art museum was established with his approval to permanently display many of the pieces he brought back with him.
