What other travelers are saying about Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum
If you love historical place and stuff, you gonna love this place. So much to see and so much stuff that will amaze you. Worth to visit .they have mini pond with koi fish and 2 garden that perfect for family photos etc.
Note: entrance ticket fee -1000 yen, you can only enter within the time frame on your ticket. No early check in. Taking photos inside the museum is allowed but not video taking. There is souvenir stuff available for sale on their shop located at their Annex but pricey.
Lovely museum with a great exhibition when we were there. The house itself is beautiful and then the art was incorporated in the environment of the rooms.
The garden is also lovely to walk around in.
Not too crowded.
"The interior decoration is very beautiful, luxurious, and elegant. As I toured around, I could imagine how a prince and princess would live here. Unfortunately, the garden isn't in bloom yet, so there are no flowers to see, but the interior of the museum is definitely worth a visit."
The Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum is a must visit place if you’re interested in historical buildings and if you’re a big fan of Art Deco.
The Gardens outside are small but pretty and well maintained while the interior is a feast of Art Deco furnishings and lighting.
One major point however…
When waking around the building expect to be constantly monitored by the staff. They are in every room and are very aggressive towards anyone who gets too close to the pieces or doesn’t follow the route exactly. We witnessed many moments when visitors were shouted at by staff. It’s a very unpleasant and uncomfortable experience.
I understand that the building has historical significance, but there’s really no reason to treat your paying visitors like naughty children.
Honestly, it really spoiled the experience for me.
Many other visitors have commented about the attitude of the staff but there is never any response or change of attitude from the museum management. It’s a shame.
Very beautiful Art Decor style mansion of Prince Asaka whom ordered the Nanjing Massacre during the China invasion, as a result, he lost the royal title & this mansion after the war.
If you’re a history & architecture buff, this is a must visit in Tokyo.
