Many people go to Tokyo to see the art galleries there, but they don’t know which ones are worth visiting. Today I want to introduce to you 10 art galleries in Tokyo. Whether you are an art lover or looking for indoor attractions because of the weather, I believe the art gallery introduced to you today can meet your needs and have a different kind of art journey.
[1] 21 _ 21 Design Vision
(Akasaka)
First of all, I’d like to introduce “21 _ 21 DESIGN SIGHT” located in midtown, Tokyo. Here, the design that pays attention to daily life is displayed, and this art gallery is also recommended for those who are not familiar with art.
The content of the exhibition will change from time to time, so you can basically see different interesting exhibitions every time you go. It is worth mentioning that 212 DESIGN SIGHT is located in Roppongi, which not only has convenient transportation, but also has many entertainment facilities. A trip to the art gallery after a stroll and a full meal in Roppongi will definitely make you feel very romantic!

The second introduction is the Genzu Art Museum, which has its amazing architecture in Minami Aoyama. It is dedicated to Japanese and Oriental cultural relics, and its wonderful and traditional Japanese architecture is worth taking the time to enjoy.
One of the best ways to enjoy the “Genzu Art Museum” is by walking in the garden. It is a beautiful garden with a tea ceremony area and stone structure. There is also a cafe called “NEZUCAFÉ”, surrounded by bright green plants, which is very rare in Tokyo. Only here can you immediately forget the hustle and bustle of the city.

The third recommendation is the Ghibli Art Museum in Mitaka City. I think this must be no stranger to domestic tourists. Many tourists come here with the heart of pilgrimage. At “Mitaka Ghibli Art Museum”, you can meet the characters and buildings in Jeepley’s masterpieces there.
There are a lot of small details in the place that have been painstaking. There will be many unexpected surprises to look for them! One thing to note is that the “Mitaka Forest Ghibli Art Museum” is one that requires a specified date and time. You must make an appointment first to visit.

When you come to Odaiba, you can stroll by the man-made beach, eat delicious food watching Tokyo Bay, and shop in huge shopping malls. What’s more to remember is that you must come to the stunt art gallery here to punch in and take some incredible photos! I’m sure it will be memorable.

Founded in 1995, the art gallery was Japan’s first art gallery dedicated exclusively to photographs and videos. The annual World Report photo exhibition is well worth seeing.
Without your understanding and love of art here, various types of photos will definitely make you discover new fun. In addition, since the art gallery is located in “Ebisu Garden Square”, it is highly recommended that tourists visit Ebisu Garden after visiting the photo art gallery.
