Nezu Museum & Garden
根津美術館
Minami-Aoyama · near Omotesando Station (exit A5)
Serene museum of pre-modern Japanese and East Asian art (Kengo Kuma building) wrapped around a 17,000 sqm strolling garden with teahouses and a garden cafe — one of central Tokyo's most peaceful escapes.
Honest drawbacks: Closed Mondays and between exhibitions; special-exhibition surcharges; NEZUCAFE can have a wait.
