World-class museums and galleries proliferate throughout Japan, not just in metropolitan centers like Tokyo and Nagoya, but also in rural areas, where art adds unique vibrancy and excitement to forgotten places and enhances traditional tourist destinations.
Explore some of the best museums and art experiences available, traveling from exciting Tokyo to the cultural heart of the country in Kyoto before returning to the capital for the end of your journey. Through visits to galleries and museums large and small, you will see Japan through the eyes of its artists as you explore the attractions and inspirations that each destination has to offer.
Your exploration will begin with three nights in Tokyo, a city that encapsulates the diversity of the Japanese art world. You will then travel by bullet train to Hakone, famous not only for its hot springs, sulfurous volcanic craters, and spectacular views of the iconic Mount Fuji, but also for its world-class art galleries and museums.
Here you will have the opportunity to visit the Chokoku no Mori Outdoor Sculpture Park, where the works of Henry Moore, Anthony Gormley and many others are set against a spectacular mountainous backdrop.
In Matsue you will stop to appreciate the beautiful collection of modern Japanese art and the award-winning landscaped garden at the Adachi Museum. Here in Japan’s “City of Water” you can also take a sunset cruise on Lake Shinji and visit one of Japan’s best-preserved original samurai castles.
You’ll cover your adventure with a stay in Nagoya, home to some of the finest art from the Shogun era at the Tokugawa Art Museum, followed by a stop at Naoshima Island in the Inland Sea.
On this truly remarkable island, you can visit the various annexes to the Benesse House, designed by world-famous architect Tadao Ando; wander through the galleries of the Chichu Art Museum; or explore the Art House Project, where old Japanese houses in the main area of the city have been restored and turned into art exhibitions.
So rich are the artistic offerings here that it is not difficult to understand why Naoshima has become known as Japan’s “Island of Art”!
