Description
The museum is the largest in Japan and houses 87 national treasures as well as 634 cultural assets. You'll see how Japanese art has changed over time from the use of clay to the many Buddhist and samurai arts. As they say, "a picture's worth a thousand words" so, come and visit the museum with me!
The Japanese garden with a pond and tea houses are so impressive from the balcony of the museum. Only during limited times in Spring and Autumn is it accessible to the garden by walking around.
