[2025 Tokyo Attraction] Travel Guide for Tokyo National Museum (Updated Mar)

It is said that Mount Fuji rewards early risers. Compared to Lake Kawaguchiko, I prefer Lake Yamanaka. Although there was no "reverse Fuji," I was already very satisfied. There was sunrise, swans, and Mount Fuji. 🚗6:30 Hirano Lakeside (Hirano no Hama) Took a taxi to Hirano no Hama. There were swans, sunrise, and Mount Fuji. 🚴10:00 Shiratori-hama After 7:00, there's a bus. Took the bus back to the hotel and rented a bicycle with electric assist. It wasn't tiring. Cycling around the lake took 2 hours. Gave up on "the park" as it opens at 11:00 and there were already many people waiting for viewing spots at 10:00. But actually, just a little bit past "the park," the scenery was also amazing. There's no need to wait specifically. After cycling around the lake, had brunch at Denny's. In the afternoon, took a bus to Lake Kawaguchiko. A perfect day. ❗️Tips The lake bus only starts running at 7:00. To see the sunrise early, you need to take a taxi or stay near Hirano. There are swans in many places, especially at Shiratori-hama, and also at Hirano. Bicycle rentals are available from 9:00 for JPY 2,000 for two hours. Rented from an elderly gentleman near Shiratori-hama. Two hours is enough to cycle around the lake and take photos. You can choose a hotel in Hirano or near a bus stop, which is very convenient.

I went to Kanto alone at the end of March, which symbolically put an end to a certain stage. . Spring has not yet fully arrived, and the cold air has reddened the tips of people's noses and the unopened cherry blossom buds. The blue of the Kanagawa Sea still has the awe of winter, and the waves are aggressive, painting a realistic version of the Kamakura coastline. Kanagawa Okinawa, Mount Fuji is silent in the clouds and mist in the distance, and the top of the snow prints a warm yellow color in the sun... Atami's fireworks light up the lake in people's eyes amidst the continuous loud noises. If life It would be great if the loud noises in the music were only accompanied by happy heart palpitations... . In addition to the natural landscape around Tokyo, the city’s classic sightseeing spots such as Tokyo Tower, Sensoji Temple, Tokyo National Museum, National Museum of Western Art, and Shibuya are also very interesting. However, almost every day, I get lost in Tokyo’s complicated rail transit. It’s easy to find your station among the colorful route instructions, but as you sit, you find that the operating route has changed... When going to surrounding attractions such as Mount Fuji, Kamakura, and Atami, if you accidentally miss a certain section of public transportation planned on the map, It will not be able to connect to the next section of transportation originally planned, which will delay a lot of time... .

#TokyoItinerary Day 1: Walking through the corridor of history My trip to Tokyo started at the Tokyo National Museum, which is located in Ueno Park and is one of the oldest and most representative museums in Japan. Walking into the museum, it feels like entering a time tunnel. The exhibition hall houses a large collection of ancient Japanese artworks, including exquisite pottery, ancient samurai armor and precious Buddhist relics. Behind every exhibit lies a story of thousands of years of Japanese history. From ancient archaeological relics to Ukiyo-e from the Edo period, every period of history has left a deep mark here. I immersed myself in it, feeling the depth and longevity of Japanese culture. In the afternoon, I came to the nearby Ueno Zoo, which not only has a rich variety of animals, but also has a long history. The exhibits here, such as tigers, giraffes, and pandas, are very popular among tourists. I wandered around the park, taking in the unique blend of this zoo and Tokyo's modern attractions. Day 2: Modern and ancient in parallel On the second day, I came to Ginza, one of the most modern business districts in Tokyo. Walking on the streets of Ginza, the high-rise buildings and fashionable shopping malls on both sides made me feel the prosperity and vitality of Tokyo. In the afternoon, I went to Sensō-ji Temple. This ancient temple brought me a sense of tranquility. The red lanterns in front of Kaminarimon and the temple filled with incense made me experience the traditional atmosphere of Tokyo. The contrast between Sensō-ji Temple and the modern atmosphere of Ginza seems to present the interweaving of Tokyo's past and present.

In Ueno Park, the most striking feature of the Tokyo National Museum is its elegant main building. Completed in 1937, this European-style building, with its red brick exterior and white lines, showcases the unique eclectic architectural style of the Meiji period✨ The most special exhibits in the museum are the Jomon period dogu (clay figurines). These mysterious human-shaped clay artifacts are often humorously referred to as 'ancient aliens' due to their peculiar shapes. With large eyes and exaggerated body features, they remain an enigma for archaeologists🥸 Exhibition Highlights: - Main Building: Focuses on Japanese art - Toyokan: Asian artifacts - Heiseikan: Special exhibitions - Horyuji Treasures Gallery: Japan's oldest Buddhist art 💡Visiting Tips: - Closed on Mondays - Recommended visit time: 2-3 hours - English audio guides available for rent - The garden is also worth a visit Although not as popular as Asakusa or Meiji Shrine, this is a must-visit spot for travelers who want to delve deeper into Japanese culture～

The exhibition celebrating Hello Kitty's 50th birthday was so fun! 🤩 I loved seeing the first toy, all the collaborations, and the amazing art!

The Tokyo National Museum's special exhibitions are held at the Heiseikan, showcasing valuable artifacts from both Japan and abroad on a seasonal basis. However, photography is often prohibited. On the other hand, the main building displays important artifacts related to Japanese history from its collection of 120,000 items, and sometimes features related items in conjunction with the special exhibitions. Most exhibits in the main building can be photographed. This time, I visited the exhibition 'Jingo-ji Temple: The Beginning of Kukai and Shingon Esoteric Buddhism.' Photography was only allowed for the statues of Zochoten and Uchoten, but there were also Kukai-related exhibits in the main building that complemented the special exhibition. Moreover, it was less crowded, allowing for a leisurely viewing experience. Kukai joined the 18th Japanese envoy to Tang China as a monk in 803, submitting a petition for a 20-year study period and traveling to Chang'an to study under Master Huiguo. After two years of studying esoteric Buddhism, he ran out of money and returned to Japan, where he founded Shingon Esoteric Buddhism. In the lineage of Shingon Esoteric Buddhism, Master Huiguo is the seventh patriarch, followed by Kukai as the eighth. I only knew Kukai by name, but the more I learned, the more I realized how significantly he influenced Japanese history. It was a truly enlightening exhibition. Event Dates: Until September 8, 2024. Don't miss it. Hours: 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM, closed on Mondays Admission: 2100 yen (includes access to the Main Building, Toyokan, and Horyuji Treasures)
