    A two-minute walk from the Komazawa Koen Nishiguchi bus stop and a 10-minute walk from Komazawa-daigaku Station. This museum stands in front of the Research Building No. 2 on the campus of Komazawa University.

The museum is housed in the Kounkan, a building previously used as a library. The museum changes the selection of items from its collection on display monthly, such as a pictorial biography of the great Zen priest Dogen, and a painting of the Buddha's attainment of Nirvana dating to 1763. The museum also holds special exhibitions presenting the results of research by university students and graduates.

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.
