What other travelers are saying about D.T. Suzuki Museum
I had read about this museum prior to travelling and had made a point of including it in our schedule. We walked through a park to gain access and our first view was the water pool which I recognised from my research. Once inside there was a feeling of peace and serenity. Learning about DT Suzuki in an atmosphere created to bring calmness and serenity was a wonderful experience. Spending time sitting in the many spaces brought a calming yet reviltalised feeling. Highly recommended when visiting Kanazawa.
Highly recommended to have a visit. We came during the afternoon and there was only a handful of people in the museum.
It is quite small and the entrance fee is minimal. However the experience was amazing. If you like architecture, then you’ll fall in love with the design and details put in to create a Zen like environment.
You can sit there and feel the tranquility. At decent weather the water becomes near calm and the occasional intentional burst in a single spot in the water creates constant water ring through out the pond. What these water rings represent is for you to decide.
Have a seat and enjoy.
Must visit for anyone who appreciates Suzuki, Zen, or honestly just a beautiful place to relax. No photos inside, and the museum is fairly small, but the reflecting pond is worth it for the price of admission alone.
I might be missing something but this place feels more of a nature and water therapy center than a Museum. A beautiful parks close by but the “Museum” itself is a bit underwhelming.
Scenic museum of famed D.T. Suzuki. Very calm and serene. The open lake is beautiful where you can sit, relax and reflect. Overall a very pleasant experience.
