A space filled with Meiji-era elegance! Experience the beauty of Western classics at Tokyo National Museum and Hyokeikan

Located in a corner of the Tokyo National Museum, Hyokeikan is a beautiful space known only to those in the know, with its classical architecture reminiscent of a European palace! 🏰✨ Built in 1909 to commemorate the marriage of the Crown Prince (later Emperor Taisho), this building is a representative example of Western-style architecture from the Meiji period. The dome roof on the exterior is impressive, and when you enter, the marble columns and chandeliers are gorgeous, making you feel like you've come to another world...! 💫🕯️ The architecture itself is like a work of art, and even just walking around will make you feel like you're taking a walk through retro architecture. It's also great for taking photos, so it's a great spot for art and architecture lovers! 📸 Special exhibitions and events are often held for a limited time, so it's also an attractive point that you can experience history and art from a different angle than usual. Even if there are no exhibitions, the building alone is enjoyable, so it's worth stopping by if you come to Ueno! Hyokeikan is a place where "Western beauty" shines, different from the Toyokan and Nihonkan. Enjoy a little elegant time in this space where history and elegance blend together♪🎻🖼️ #Spring0yentrip
