    It's not as crowded as the Ueno Museum, so you can enjoy the exhibits at your own pace. Also, it's nice that visitors are asked to view the exhibits without talking, and photography is almost always prohibited. I was deeply impressed by the beauty of the Japanese paintings. I was captivated by the lifeless eyes of the woman and the cats' fur. I'll definitely visit again when the exhibits change.

    The art collection here were luxury’s! Beautiful pieces, the place also calm. Its not that big and only one floor. Not so many foreigners spot to visit here when I came. Mostly aging locals that appreciate and adore Japanese arts. But worth it!

    Highly recommended for those who appreciate local Japanese artists and a sense of everyday life. The exhibition is quiet and photography is not allowed.

    I'm a fan of the artworks in the collection, so I visit whenever I have the chance. However, the staff are all as unfriendly as Noh masks. It's a museum where you can appreciate the art in a relaxed atmosphere, so I'd like to continue going there.
