A refined private museum in the heart of Aoyama housing an outstanding collection of pre-modern Asian art — lacquerware, ceramics, Buddhist sculpture, and tea ceremony objects — in a Kengo Kuma-designed building of exceptional elegance. The bamboo garden behind the museum is one of Tokyo's most serene hidden spaces and included with admission. The café overlooking the garden is perfect for a slow afternoon. Closed Mondays; the permanent collection rotates seasonally.
