Nihonbashi

Nihonbashi area of Japan

To anyone who understands the history behind the "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō", the first station was the wooden bridge that was located in the Nihonbashi district. It is memorialized today with lions and plaques. This is the first station on the road to old Kyoto.

Serenity of the Garden at Nezu Museum

While the museum is a wonderful experience, walking the garden grounds takes you back to old Japan where a tea ceremony would take place in one of the several cottages that lie in the landscape, as a part of nature.

Nezu Museum

The Nezu Museum first opened its doors, in the Minami Aoyama district of Tokyo in 1941, thanks to a bequest from Nezu Kaichiro I. Set on a massive site covering more than 20,000 square meters, the Musuem is surround by a Japanese garden rich with mature tress and foliage that reflects the four seasons, along with tea houses scattered around an extensive pond.

Today the Museum is home to a diverse collection of Japanese and East Asian arts ranging from painting and calligraphy to sculpture, ceramics, lacquer ware, textiles and archaeological materials. The collection of more than 7,400 items proudly includes 7 works designated as National Treasures, along with 87 Important Cultural Properties and 94 Important Art Objects.
