Nezu Museum

The experience

Private museum of Japanese and East Asian art built on the collection of industrialist Nezu Kaichiro, opened in 1941 and rebuilt by Kengo Kuma in 2009. Holdings run to more than 7,400 objects including seven National Treasures, among them Ogata Korin's Irises screens. Behind the galleries is a wooded hillside garden with ponds, stone lanterns and several teahouses.

A dense hillside garden hidden one block off Omotesando, reached through a long bamboo-walled corridor.
