You may find their masterpieces in the following
museums. You may study and search a bit about
the tradition at this page, too, to color your own life. |
|
|
| Tokyo National Museum (Toh-Ha-Ku) is located in Ueno, next town of Asakusa. |
|
| Edo Tokyo Museum in Ryogoku is such good combination with
Sumo Museum (Kokugikan) as well as Ekoin and Kyu-Yasuda-Teien (free of charge, very small but very
nice Japanese garden, not many people as
other popular well-known garden). You may
refer to Sumo in Tokyo and Sky Tree to make your travel itinerary. |
|
| Toyosu Ukiyoe Museum is cross transportation of Tokyo Metro Yurakucho
Line and Yurikamome Line. Future Fish Market
(Tsukiji will be re-located to this area
in Toyosu in few years time) can be in your
walking itinerary. |
|
| |
| |
| Ukiyoe Ota Museum is located in a crossing of JR Harajuku
Station on Yamanote Line and Tokyo Metro
Chiyoda Line (Meiji-Jingu-Mae Station). What
a contrast of this museum (very traditional)
and Takeshita-Dori (young modern Japan).
Sunday afternoon has cos-play or street-dancing
in south side of Yoyogi Park. Meiji Jingu
(Shrine) has a few Japanese style wedding
almost every Saturdays and Sundays. |
|
| Koishikawa Ukiyo-e Museum is not like other museum but just on
one floor (5th floor) of the white business
building in Stone-Enjoy-River (or Small-Stone-River)
area of downtown Tokyo. Tokyo Dome (concert
hall, baseball stadium) and Hosho Nohgakudoh (Noh Theater) are within a few minutes walk
distance. |
|
| Hiroshige Museum of Art is not in Tokyo but in Yamagata, Tendo
(Tendoh) city. Japanese chess shogi, Yamadera (refer to Day-9 at this page, please), Onsen are best interests of your
Japan trip there. |
