What other travelers are saying about National Art Center, Tokyo
If you are going to be in the area and appreciate art and architecture, this is definitely a great place to visit. Many of the galleries are free to enter, and the ones that do cost money are generally only about 2 or 3 dollars. When I visited, there was a wide variety of galleries which were interesting to see. There are also multiple places to eat, so it can make for a great place to grab lunch during a busy day.
Absolutely recommended if you are very interested in art and architecture. The building and interiors themselves are marvelous, plus it’s great to visit when there are special exhibits. Caught an exhibit of local established and up-and-coming artists, as well as a special exhibit of globally renowned architects and interior designers! Very accessible and inclusive too.
If you're exploring the area, this spot should be visited! It offers a taste of Japanese culture — from its artistic atmosphere and engaging exhibitions to its beautifully designed architecture.
📘And of course, don’t miss the chance to collect a unique stamp for your stamp book — a perfect keepsake from your visit!
The building itself is worth a visit. Glass and steel on the outside, and warm tree
on the inside. We went to see Living modernity exhibition which was pretty cool and showcased numerous houses for living designed by major architects 1920 - 1970. Highly recommended.
The building in general was really nice. But here you do not buy one ticket and go to every gallery. You have yo buy a ticket at every gallery for 700 to 1700 yen. We went into the expensive 1700 yen special excebition. It was about housing. But it was small and not well arranged. I would only recommend it if you know what you want to see here.
