If you like Japanese gardens and Kengo Kuma's designs, then the Nezu Museum located in Minami Aoyama is a must-visit. This private museum, created by Kaichiro Nezu, is also a symbol of Japan's old wealth. He had a personal liking for antiques, bronzes, and Buddhist statues. The museum was originally Nezu's private residence, which was later redesigned by Kengo Kuma into a museum and opened to the public. Apart from the museum's own collection, the Japanese garden is also a highlight, featuring a Japanese tea house surrounded by greenery. However, many of the museum's collections are Chinese Buddha heads, which are quite thought-provoking to see. ☕️Nezu Cafe: Many people visit Nezu, and a big reason must be for this tea house! This cafe, also designed by Kengo Kuma and hidden in the Japanese garden, is enveloped in greenery and is very photogenic. The seats by the window are the most popular. The coffee and desserts here are decent without being exceptional, and the prices are not expensive. 📸Photography tips: If you want to capture the Nezu Museum without any disturbances, look no further ✅Best time to shoot: Weekdays, rainy days, just before closing or right after opening. This timing is particularly important. On the day I visited, it was a light rainy weekday in Tokyo, so there were relatively few tourists. ✅How to get a shot of the usually busy Nezu cafe without people? The tea house actually closes at 4:30 pm, so they stop serving customers after 4 pm. I was actually the last customer that day, and even the tables were already cleaned up. That's how I managed to take pictures freely. ✅Take a shot of the bamboo grove corridor at the entrance before leaving the museum to capture an empty scene ✅A light rainy day is ideal for shooting the garden, as walking with an umbrella in the Japanese garden is very pleasant. If you get tired, you can sit down in a small pavilion and listen to the rain. 🎫Ticket: No reservation needed, just buy on-site ⏰Business hours: 10:00-17:00 (Closed on Mondays) 🌿Surroundings: 🔶Shopping: After visiting the Nezu Museum, you can shop around Minami Aoyama. There are stores like Issey Miyake, Rei Kawakubo, Prada, Lelabo, etc. I also bought a limited edition flap shoulder from Issey Miyake here, which I haven't seen in China, so no worries about clashing bags. Omotesando and Roppongi are not far from here. 🔶Museums: If you have an entire afternoon for exhibitions, you can also visit the National Art Center and the Mori Art Museum, with the Mori Art Museum being a perfect spot to end the day with a sunset or night view. (See other notes for details) 🔶Food: After coming out of the Mori Art Museum, you can have dinner in Roppongi Hills or Omotesando, or take a stroll to the nearby Azabu Juban.

March 2018 #TokyoTravel When I travel, I like to go up to the observatory of a tall building or tower and look down at the city view. Tokyo, as a mega city, has quite a few observatories. Among them, the one I visited this time was #RoppongiHills in #Roppongi. First, I looked down at Tokyo from #TokyoCityView, and then I also looked around #Mori Art Museum (#森美術館), which was included in the admission ticket. At first, I thought it was just a bonus, but because of the unique works, it was quite fun, so I thought it was a good idea to visit. I think the exhibits keep changing, so I thought I might visit again because of this. #Japan #JapanTravel #WorldTravel #Tokyo #Tokyo #東京

The exhibition Roppongi in the immersive line is a place to visit in Tokyo, bought a ticket to the Observatory, and sent tickets to the Mori Art Museum. Recently, Mori Art Museum exhibited a solo exhibition of Japanese avant-garde artist Yantian Qianchun. It is said that it is the largest solo exhibition so far, and it is worth seeing. A little bit worse before the show, the artist's introduction, at the 2001 Yokohama Biennale, her work began to attract attention in Japan and internationally. Her work is very novel, with "line" as the main material, more like a canvas, a two-dimensional space, a geometric embroidery composed of lines as a brush. After watching this exhibition, I feel a bit heavy. Her creations are usually related to the trauma and memory of childhood, and the network is used to wake up the memories of forgetting.

📍Roppongi, Mori Art Museum Step into a large-scale exhibition focusing on the works of Sou Fujimoto. From the moment you enter the venue, you’ll feel as if the space itself is speaking to you. Models, videos, words, and light come together to pose profound questions: "What is architecture?" and "How do we shape the future?" These questions resonate quietly yet powerfully throughout the exhibition. The exhibition also features interactive displays and installations that even captivate children, making it a great summer outing for families. Highlights include ongoing projects in Sendai and other locations both in Japan and abroad. 🗓 Open until November. If you want to experience the unique sensation of urban and natural elements, as well as past and future, intersecting, this is a must-visit. — 🖼 "Sou Fujimoto: Architecture – Primitive, Future, Forest" 📍 Mori Art Museum (53rd floor, Roppongi Hills Mori Tower) 📅 July 2, 2025 – November 9, 2025 🕰 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM (Tuesdays until 5:00 PM)

"Moved by Yoko Ono's Art at the Exhibition 'Catastrophe and the Power of Art'" Archive "Add Color Painting (Refugee Ship)" • This form, part of the "Add Color Painting" series, first presented in 1961, has been reimagined for this exhibition with the "Refugee Ship" motif. • Visitors were free to use crayons to add their "wishes for peace" or colors and words anywhere on the walls, floor, or ship in the exhibition room. This pioneering piece of participatory art, in which viewers themselves became part of the artwork, provided a space for sharing hope and memories. "Wish Tree" • This short-term, participatory installation served as an outdoor installation for the exhibition. Visitors wrote their wishes on strips of paper and tied them to the tree branches. These wishes were later preserved in Iceland's "Imagine Peace Tower," connecting them to prayers for peace. Outside the exhibition space, there was also an outdoor display of the message "WAR IS OVER," created in 1969 as part of a project with John Lennon. "Catastrophe and the Power of Art," held at the Mori Art Museum, explored how we confront global tragedies from an artistic perspective. One of the most striking pieces was Yoko Ono's "Add Color (Refugee Boat)." The installation allowed visitors to freely add colors and words, and I felt the joy of being a part of it. Throughout the exhibition, I was moved by the power of "creation born from destruction" and the moments when people's hope intermingled. #MoriArtMuseum #YokoOno #ParticipatoryArt #CatastropheandthePowerofArt #PrayerforPeace

🎨 Emily Mae Smith Exhibition Opening Reception @ Perrotin Tokyo Archive 📍 Perrotin Tokyo | Roppongi Pyramide Building 2F I attended the opening reception for American artist Emily Mae Smith's solo exhibition, held at Perrotin Tokyo, located in the Roppongi art spot "Pyramide Building." Her works, combining animated brushstrokes with references to art history, possess both visual beauty and sharp irony, attracting a large number of art fans, collectors, and curators from Japan and abroad. The artist herself was present on the opening day and spoke carefully about the background and intentions behind her works. Particularly striking was a new work featuring an anthropomorphized broom, her signature motif. The surreal composition incorporates themes such as gender, mythology, and capitalism. There were also small pieces by artists represented, such as Izumi Kato and Elizabeth Peyton, and many other pieces perfect for display at home. ⸻ 🏛 Roppongi Piramide Building and Surrounding Galleries 📍 Piramide Building A masterpiece of 1980s modernist architecture by architect Fumihiko Maki. A unique complex where cultural facilities and commercial spaces intersect. In addition to Perrotin Tokyo, it also houses several other galleries. 🔹 Galleries within Piramide • Taka Ishii Gallery A gallery specializing in photography and video expression. Works by artists such as Hiroshi Sugimoto and Daido Moriyama are often exhibited. • OTA FINE ARTS This gallery is home to leading figures in Asian contemporary art, including Yayoi Kusama and contemporary artists from Myanmar. • WAKO WORKS OF ART A long-established gallery showcasing international contemporary art. Its carefully curated exhibition space is a highlight. ⸻ ☕ Recommended cafes for a break during your gallery tour • Roppongi Tsutaya Bookstore Cafe (Tokyo Midtown) A wide selection of art books. A perfect intellectual space for a post-gallery visit. • Aoyama Flower Market TEA HOUSE Akasaka Biz Tower Take a break surrounded by seasonal flowers. A relaxing spot to bask in the afterglow of an exhibition. ⸻ ✍️ Summary: An afternoon of art in the city Roppongi Pyramide Building is one place where you can truly experience the "context" of contemporary art in Tokyo. Not only did I enjoy the Emily Mae Smith exhibition, but I also enjoyed visiting other galleries, making it a fulfilling day. #RoppongiArtWalk #PerrotinTokyo #EmilyMaeSmith #ContemporaryArt #TokyoGalleryTrip

Mori Art Museum is one of the best spots to view Tokyo Tower. Compared to the popular Shibuya area, the Mori Art Museum is much quieter. As the sky gradually darkens and the lights of the tower slowly come on, it creates a truly beautiful scene. You’ll need to purchase an additional ticket to enter the museum, which you can buy online in advance—about two weeks ahead is usually sufficient. Even if you're not there to see Tokyo Tower, it's still worth taking a walk around the observation deck on that floor. The night view of Tokyo’s bustling streets is just as stunning. 📍Mori Art Museum Japan, 〒106-6150 Tokyo, Minato City, Roppongi, 6 Chome−10−1 Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, 53rd Floor #asiabudgetchallenge #tokyo

🎨 A Day of Art and Ramen at Roppongi Hills MAM Project "Buddy Dyerell Exhibition," Hiro Sugiyama Exhibition, and Finishing with Afuri's Vegan Ramen The Buddy Dyerell exhibition was held as part of the MAM Project at the Mori Art Museum in Roppongi Hills. His works, which intertwine video, sculpture, and political irony, are imbued with unsettling humor while posing questions to the viewer. Particularly striking was the procession of matchbox-sized drawings addressing themes of surveillance society and the individual's physicality. In the same building, the gallery area also featured Hiro Sugiyama's Cultural Assets series. These works, inspired by Buddhist statues from the Nara and Heian periods, were reconstructed using foil and monochrome techniques. The canvases offer a mysterious allure, as if past memories and modern chaos are vying for attention, and the bouquets of flowers from his lavish circle of friends are sure to be a hit on social media. After being inspired by the art, we had a late lunch at AFURI in the basement of the Hills. I was also interested in the classic yuzu shio ramen, but I opted for the vegan ramen. It was a more delicate bowl than I expected. Though it's animal-free, the kelp and dried shiitake mushroom broth, accented with the aroma of yuzu, gave it an elegant finish, almost like the final course of a kaiseki meal. The colorful vegetables on top were beautiful, and the satisfaction felt like an extension of art appreciation. ▶Summary • Buddy Durrell Exhibition: A sharp perspective on the intersection of the city and the human body, with an excellent spatial composition. • Hiro Sugiyama Exhibition: A vibrant collision of tradition and pop. Recommended for culture-conscious visitors. • Afuri's Vegan Ramen: No compromises, even without animal products. An artistic taste. It was a day that was pleasing to the senses, with both art and food. Next time, I might add the night observation deck and "enjoy the Hills" even more. #SummerVacation #TokyoTrip #PaintingTrip #DomesticTravelTricks #MyTravelPlan #SummerVacationTrip #SeasonalOverseasPlaces #OverseasTravelTricks #OverseasTravel #CommentCorner #AbsolutelyFreeTrip

🕷 "Maman" Floating in the Roppongi Sky—Touching the Soul with the Louise Bourgeois Exhibition: A Visit to Mori Art Museum, Tokyo ⸻ I went to the Louise Bourgeois exhibition at the Mori Art Museum in Roppongi Hills, Tokyo. Welcoming me at the entrance is a gigantic spider, "Maman," approximately 10 meters tall. With its steel legs, delicate body, and dangling eggs, its appearance is said to embody the artist's love as a "protector" for her late mother, as well as her complex feelings toward motherhood. The museum is lined with works that quietly stir the viewer's inner self, including "Couple," featuring intertwined bodies, and "Arch of Hysteria," symbolizing an emotional outburst. Each piece combines strength and delicacy, seemingly embodying family, memory, sexuality, and deepest emotional wounds. 🕒 Opening hours: 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM (until 5:00 PM on Tuesdays) 📍 The Mori Art Museum is located on the 53rd floor of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, directly connected to Roppongi Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line, making it easily accessible. Even if you're not an expert on contemporary art, Bourgeois's works are like "sculptures of emotion," resonating with each viewer's memories and emotions. I highly recommend this museum for anyone wanting to experience art in Tokyo. ⸻ #LouiseBourgeoisExhibition #MoriArtMuseum #Maman #RoppongiSightseeing #TokyoTrip #ContemporaryArt #ArtTrip #RecommendedTripSpots #TokyoArt #LouiseBourgeois

"Machine Love: Video Games, AI, and Contemporary Art" Did you know that the Mori Art Museum is open until 10 PM? The atmosphere of an art museum at night is just amazing, and you can take your time exploring—it’s highly recommended. Technology and AI are evolving at such a rapid pace, don’t you think? It feels like something new happens every day, and it’s hard to keep up, but it’s so exciting. This exhibition was packed with a sense of the future! From game engines and AI to VR, and even generative AI, which is being hailed as potentially surpassing human imagination, there were so many fascinating works. It was so much fun to walk around with friends, chatting and wondering, "How does this even work?" Also, I got to see works by my favorite artist, Lu Yang, on a big screen, and it was such a thrill. Combined with the nighttime vibe of Roppongi Hills, it was an exhilarating experience. ──────────────── 🖼️ Machine Love: Video Games, AI, and Contemporary Art 📆 Exhibition Period February 13, 2025 (Thu) – June 8, 2025 (Sun) 📍 Venue Mori Art Museum Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, 53rd Floor, 6-10-1 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo ⏰ Opening Hours 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM Tuesdays: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM April 29 & May 6: Open until 10:00 PM * Last admission 30 minutes before closing ❌ Closed Open every day during the exhibition period 💰 Admission Fees Weekdays General: ¥2,000 / Students (High School & University): ¥1,400 / Junior High & Below: Free / Seniors (65+): ¥1,700 Weekends & Holidays General: ¥2,200 / Students (High School & University): ¥1,500 / Junior High & Below: Free / Seniors (65+): ¥1,900 ──────────────── Since it’s open late, it’s perfect for a quick visit after school or work.

#freemuseumdays The Mori is currently showing a special exhibit called Machine Love which examines the intersection of contemporary art with AI, virtual reality, and gaming. Not really my thing. For me, the most interesting part of the exhibit was a piece called Calculating Empires, an 80 ft. timeline which charts how power and technology have been intertwined since the 1500’s and how we got to where we are with AI today. The exhibit is overwhelming and you could spend hours there.

Hakone is designed for lazy people: soak in the hot springs until your skin wrinkles, use the pirate ship as a mobile viewing platform, and even the sculptures in the art museum are lying down for you. 🚗 Lazy Transportation - The Hakone Free Pass is your lifesaver, covering cable cars, pirate ships, and buses, so you don't have to bother calculating fares. - The Romancecar express train goes directly from Tokyo's Shinjuku to Hakone-Yumoto in 75 minutes, with sofa-like seats perfect for lounging and enjoying the scenery. ♨️ Lazy Hot Springs 1. Hakone Yuryo: A hot spring with a traditional Japanese house vibe, choose from 19 private baths, and after soaking, lie down and enjoy robata yaki. A 3-minute shuttle bus ride to the station. 2. Tenzan Onsen: Open 23 hours, the rooftop "Sky Open-air Bath" allows you to soak and watch the stars, perfect for night owls. 3. Yoshike Ryokan: 100% natural spring water, after soaking, stroll through the Japanese garden, even walking counts as exercise. 🚢 Lazy Pirate Ship - Choose the "Royal Solar Ship," enjoy the breeze on the deck, see Mount Fuji + torii gate on the lake, the whole journey takes 30 minutes, so lazy that even the ship drives for you. - Tips: Go on a clear morning, Mount Fuji won't hide; the Hakone Free Pass offers discounts. 🎨 Lazy Art Museum - Hakone Open-Air Museum: 70,000㎡ outdoors, Picasso Pavilion + foot bath, enjoy both art and relaxation. - Venetian Glass Museum: Crystal trees dazzle the eyes, 5 minutes for photos, 1 hour to chill in the cafe. 🍡 Lazy Eating of Plums - Tamura Ginkatsutei: Tofu and pork cutlet stew, munch on plum candies while waiting in line. - Bakery & Table: A bakery by the port of Motohakone, buy a plum bread and take it to the free foot bath to soak and munch. 📌 Lazy Philosophy - "The beauty of Hakone lies in the fact that even time is too lazy to pass." Soak in the hot springs until you forget yourself, doze off on the pirate ship, and the sculptures in the art museum are even better at lying down than you are. - Lazy warning: Don't plan more than 3 spots, otherwise it counts as a work injury. "Laziness isn't a sin, it's Hakone's default setting." 🌿
