What other travelers are saying about Tokyo Fuji Museum
There were so many exhibits. The first building I went in was the Asian Gallery and it had 6 levels of exhibits. The Japanese Gallery had a lot as well but definitely not as much. If you stop and read most of the information on each piece, it’s easily an all day experience.
This charming museum is one and half an hour public transport away from Tokyo. They do not have English translations but they arrange the show beautifully. Their cafe has really good food. It was not crowded when I visited.
I went here for the Man Ray exhibition.
The bus from Hachioji Station NORTH exit was very convenient. Some of the works on display from the permanent collection were impressive. There was also an excellent exhibition of Kertesz photos. Viewing was not impeded by hordes of people. Ice cream in the cafe was very good. Lunch was a little disappointing: goulash without cumin?
If you find yourself in this remote corner of Tokyo, it's worth checking out.
Didn't expect their collection albeit small: a lot of renowned masterpieces from the Renaissance to modern art (I especially went crazy for their Neo-classicals: Ingres, Delacroix and Gericault). A bit far from Hachioji station and not much restaurants around to choose from.
I highly recommend this museum if you’re interested in seeing rare, world-class artifacts and art pieces that are usually not accessible to the public. I’ve visited many times, and it never fails to amaze me. Each special exhibition is truly one of a kind and memorable beyond words. In recent memory, I especially recall seeing Monet’s Water Lilies — an unforgettable experience. This is a museum you must visit at least once in your lifetime!
