Visit Nezu Museum for a meticulous, captivating lesson in how Japanese art and culture have evolved throughout history. The museum houses Nezu Kaichirō's (1860 –1940) private collection of pre-modern Japanese and East Asian art. Constructed in 1933, Nezu's family home-cum-museum consists of the main house, gate house, and three-story kura (storehouse) filled with relics, crafts, and works of art. Inspect the vast collection of Edo-period folding screens, paintings of renown, calligraphy, sculptures, Chinese bronzes, and archaeological materials. Should you tire from walking, rest outside in the serene traditional garden. By using our Tokyo holiday planner, you can arrange your visit to Nezu Museum and other attractions in Tokyo.

  네즈미술관은 관내에 있는 작품보다는 정원과 안에 있는 카페가 유명합니다. 오히려 정원이 더 그림 같네요 ㅎ 안에 있는 카페는 오후 4시까지 합니다. 정원은 진짜 예뻐요. 진짜 추천할만함  more »

  The Nez Museum of Art is famous for its gardens and cafes, rather than the works in the building. The garden is more picturesque, but the café inside is open until 4pm. The garden is really beautiful. It's a great place to stay.

  Incredible museum, unlike many other art museums it doesn't overwhelm you with how big it is. Has around 5 exhibits which is perfect for going through at a leisurely pace for a couple of hours. From there I highly recommend eating at the cafe out back, which has a lovely view of the garden and then after eating take your time walking through the garden and appreciate where you are. Loved it

  An incredible museum just a walking distance from Omotesando area. The design of the museum, both outdoors and indoors is simply an art piece on its own. The artifacts in the exhibition include centuries-old Buddha statues from East Asia and the outdoors includes a beautiful tea house and a traditional Japanese garden. Highly recommend.
