Tokugawa Art Museum

I wasn’t sure what to expect at this museum but it was very interesting. I learnt a lot about Japanese history, saw some cool items, and I was lucky enough to see the impressive collection of hina dolls. I would recommend the combined ticket with the gardens, it’s great value for money.

I recommend buying a ticket for the garden as well as the museum. Even though it was snowing, I was able to scroll the expensive gardens and enjoy the peaceful scenery. The museum itself was astonishing. I guess because of the cold weather it was not very crowded when I visited on a weekday afternoon. I was able to spend a lot of time in the space enjoying Noh masks and a stage as well as famous swords and household objects. Having space and quiet allowed me to imagine living at that time. It’s such an intimate portrayal of daily life compared to a place like Nikkō Tōshō-gū, which is far more elaborate.

It has a lovely garden which most Japanese takes pride in. The museum was interesting too

Great museum with astonishing items on display. Anything from armours to swords and beautiful paintings and garments. There is also English text available, it's however a bit less detailed than the Japanese , that's to be expected of course.

Nice museum showcasing the feudal lord's ancestral possessions. Very beautiful items are on display and the lacquer work items are outstanding. Lovely craftsmanship. Entrance tickets are quite expensive @Yen 1600 per adult. Could see, but you need to spend at least 2 hours here and it closes at 5pm
