Tokyo Nishitamagunokutamamachi Kawai Tanpaku 53

This unique art museum is in Okutama's natural surroundings. It was made by relocating an antique house built in the late Edo period. The Tama River Valley flows right next to it and visitors can hear the constant murmur of the river. It's exactly half-way between the JR Ome line's Mitake and Kawai Stations and about a 20-minute walk from either one. It mainly exhibits paintings and traditional crafts made by artists with ties to Okutama. They hold special exhibits four or five times a year.

青梅市と奥多摩町の境にある美術館です。国道411号線を都心から走ると奥多摩町の標識を過ぎたすぐ左下にあります。近くには奥多摩フィッシングセンターがあります。

Tokyo Kita-ku Nishigahara 1-27-39 In the old Furukawa garden

A Western-style mansion a 12 minute walk from Komagome Station. This stone structure was called the Kyu Furukawa-tei. It was designed by English architect Josiah Conder, who also designed the iconic Rokumeikan. The main building has two floors aboveground and one below. The first floor is decorated in Western style while every room except the bedroom on the second floor is a traditional Japanese room, and the residence skillfully blends Japanese and Western tastes. The simple and solemn exterior resembles the architecture of Scottish and English country villas. A guided tour is provided in the museum and takes approximately one hour. The garden is famed for its roses; from mid-May to mid-June and from mid-October to late November are the best times to see them. Viewing and touring the museum requires a reservation to be made by a postcard with a reply card attached.

地方から上京して美術館巡りするのが好きで、あちこち回って来た。当然アクセスは公共交通機関、特に電車を利用して。駅から徒歩で近いとこは誠にありがたいのだが、中にはそうでないとこもある。板橋区立美術館は典型的なそのタイプ。最寄りの駅は地下鉄三田線の終着である西高島平駅。駅降りて徒歩で向かうのだが、遠いのには閉口した。美術館までの道のりは1㎞強あって、途中の風景もいったいこんなとこにあるのだろう...

Tokyo Areas

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
