Japan's only public museum dedicated entirely to photography and moving image, housed in a clean modernist building inside Yebisu Garden Place. The programming is sophisticated — expect retrospectives of major Japanese photographers like Daido Moriyama alongside international names. The permanent collection spans daguerreotypes to digital. It is quieter than most Tokyo museums and deeply appreciated by locals who take photography seriously.
