Latest update :
I went to Tokyo for the first time in about two years! Last time, it was near the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, so there weren't many people around and I was able to get a great deal on a hotel, but this time, perhaps due to the summer holidays and the inbound effect, accommodation prices had skyrocketed, so I reluctantly made it a day trip. It was a very hot summer day, with strong sunlight and very high temperatures, but I went to the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum for the first time!
The main building was built in 1933 as the private home of the imperial ASAKANOMIYA family. It opened as an art museum in 1983 and hosts exhibitions of various genres. This time, they were holding an exhibition commemorating the 140th anniversary of Takehisa Yumeji's birth! I thought it was quite interesting to be able to appreciate his works alongside his own home. The interiors of the main rooms in the main building were designed by famous French Art Deco designers such as Henri Rapin and Rene Lalique. In 2015, it was designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan. Within the grounds, there is an open front garden covered with lawns, and a rolling Japanese garden with a hill and pond, where you can enjoy the changes of the seasons.
The mansion and Yumeji Takehisa's ephemeral paintings matched perfectly and were well worth a visit. There were also a few inbound visitors here. The new building, connected to the main building by a corridor, is a very bright glass-walled space with a museum shop and a cafe. There is also a restaurant on the premises, and both were full of customers!
It's very refreshing to be able to look around the palace and not just see the artworks you like. It's a bit of a walk from the station, but if you're interested, please go!
Once Gold-Guide expands to the Kansai region, we would like to create art museum tours!
Access: About 10 minutes on foot from Meguro Station or Shirokanedai Station
