What other travelers are saying about Nezu Museum (& Garden)
Just the most exquisite place in Tokyo!
I go straight back into the garden and spend all my time meandering on every path. Each one is a revelation.
The museum is also very beautiful, as is the tea house but not compared to the gardens. It is a special oasis in the heart of Tokyo!
All the gifts for people back home are bought at this museum store. It’s a small store but has the most exquisite things!
My better half mentioned this is a private museum and known to be a garden oasis as well. She got it right again. We bought tickets at the door. There's a minor discount if you buy tickets online. We headed to the garden upon entry. It's nice to take a stroll away from the maddening crowds and enjoy a well-manicured Japanese garden in the heart of the city. The museum itself has a few galleries/rooms containing ancient artefacts collected from nearby Asian countries
Beautiful find in Tokyo, we found it randomly and were delighted. The museum has a big and beautiful forest/garden where you would like to stay for hours. The exhibits are small but really interesting and well curated. The shop is simple but the most interesting museum shop I've seen, with a great selection of art books and prints.
It is a beautiful museum curating Japanese art to Chinese bronze artifacts. The garden is peaceful and beautiful. But I also enjoyed the walk to the museum from the subway station. The neighborhood has upscale vibes mixed in with Japanese minimalism. I wouldn't say this is a must but definitely worth the trip. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.
Wish we saved more time to spend in the garden!! The museum was extremely beautiful, especially in the rain. Definitely going back to revisit the trees and stone sculptures in the garden one day. No photos in the exhibition but it allowed us to take more time to look at the artworks.
