Compact museum, great selection of artwork. We arrived not long after opening. It was a really hot day and the aircon was barely on, that coupled with it being so busy we were shuffling at snail pace around the gallery which spoilt the trip. They are also very old school museum vibes, no photos, I got scolded for making notes (with a ballpoint pen) instead of a pencil, which is understandable if the artwork is not protected but everything is behind glass. I wasn’t the only one, the staff seemed to be in a power kick! The museum shop is a small collection of postcards. Cash only. There is a nice shop downstairs.

A compact museum with a lot to take in, so I’d suggest giving yourself plenty of time if you want to look through each exhibit without rushing. The two-level layout makes it easy to explore, and the rotating displays keep it interesting. Just a heads-up that it’s cash only and the lockers are fairly small, so planning ahead helps.

Loved this space and the collection it had! I learned a lot from seeing the various artworks up on the walls and cases of this museum as most came with the stories of each artwork or artist. Photographs are unfortunately not allowed in the museum, neither are pen writing materials (only pencils are allowed and they happily lend you one so you can write on the museum guide they give out). The museum guide has the list of the artworks and the names of the artist. I decided to note down things I enjoyed about my most favorite ones! The museum visit was a quick and fun way to absorb a part of Japanese history without getting too overwhelmed. I really grew to love this style of art even more after having visited the museum!

A museum that showcase different exhibits. A great place to appreciate japanese art. There were 2 floors inside but the walkway was a bit narrow which could be difficult to pass when its crowded. Sadly, no pictures are allowed inside. During our visit, the exhibit featured Hirezaki Eiho who was said to be the "last ukiyo-e artist". It was an interesting exhibit. It took us about an hour to look around. They also have a small souvenir shop inside.

Excellent museum dedicated to Japanese woodblock prints. Although they have large permanent holdings, the museum focuses on rotating exhibitions including works on loan or on tour. The shows typically have dozens of prints and could be seen in as little as 20 minutes if in a hurry. Well worth a visit for both ukiyo-e lovers and persons new to the genre.
