This groundbreaking ROM-original exhibition explores the profound connection between Japanese objects and the human sense of touch, known as shokkan—a vital element in the creation and appreciation of Japanese art. Transcending the tactile sensations felt at the fingertips, shokkan is the combination of memories, language, and other senses like sight and sound.
This first-of-its-kind exhibition showcases over 100 objects, including textiles, armour, paintings, lacquer works, ceramics, prints, and contemporary art, many of which are integral to everyday life rather than solely for display. From the intricate texture of a matcha tea bowl to the “imagined touch” of a woodblock print, be inspired by the exquisite and innovative craftsmanship through encounters with touchable objects and hands-on experiences that allow you to fully appreciate Japanese art.

Best Things to Do

Night view

iQOO🐮

The CN Tower is really impressive. Take the high-speed elevator to the top and stand on the glass-floored observation deck, overlooking the Toronto city scenery and Lake Ontario. The view is breathtaking. The revolving restaurant is also a great experience, enjoying the panoramic view while enjoying the food. It is worthy of being a Toronto landmark and is worth a visit.

Niagara Falls

Natural scenery

狗头妈

Niagara Falls is located on the border of the United States and Canada, on the Niagara River, and can be seen from both countries. If you look at the falls from the United States, the other side of the river is the bustling Canadian city of Toronto, with modern buildings such as high-rise buildings and towers. The south bank of the river in the United States is relatively more natural, without high-rise buildings. A Niagara State Park has been built around the falls. It is free and has green trees and carpeted lawns. There are bridges and trestle trails in the park. You can see the wide Niagara River and the rapid water flow. After arriving at the park, parking in the surrounding area is charged. It is recommended to park in the park&#39;s internal parking lot, which charges $10-15 and is closer to the viewing point. Go to the visitor center to get a free map or take a photo of the roadside sign. Because there is more than one waterfall, it is recommended to visit each waterfall viewing point. It is not too far to walk around, and different angles and altitudes have different beauty, all of which are very shocking. If you are not afraid of getting wet, you can go down to the bottom of the waterfall or take a cruise on the Niagara River to see it, where you can see the panoramic view and have an intimate contact with the waterfall.

Historic buildings

Casa Roman Castle is truly amazing! From the moment you step in, it seems to be back to medieval Europe. The castle is unique in style, with gothic spires and exquisite carvings, showing the luxury and mystery. The interior is even more gorgeous, with elegant study rooms and mysterious towers, each room full of stories. The tower overlooks downtown Toronto with a panoramic view and intoxicating.

Art Gallery of Ontario

Book now for tomorrow

The Art Gallery of Ontario is a very attractive museum designed by the architect Frank Gehry. Its appearance is like a crystal ship, with a strong sense of modern art. The glass wall and glass wings on the north side of the main entrance glow under the lights at night, creating a beautiful scenery. The spiral staircase in the museum fully demonstrates Gehry&#39;s design talent.

As soon as I entered the lobby, I saw Chinese treasures. The cultural relics on display were much better than those in China. It was a pity that they did not return to the embrace of the motherland. I was also glad that if they had not been looted by the invaders at that time, would they have been destroyed? I felt very conflicted. In addition to the Chinese national treasures on the first floor, the second floor is a bit like a natural history museum, with crystal tubes, which are very beautiful. The interior of the museum is also very suitable for taking pictures, very beautiful.
