Garden of Fine Arts Kyoto

Must visit if you’re an architecture & history & art buff… Can’t believe they only charge 200 yen for this whole exhibition…. Amazing architecture design & beautiful world famous art works of both western & eastern cultures.

I couldn’t stop saying “wow” the whole time I was there. Garden of Fine Arts Kyoto is 100% worth visiting if it’s your first time. Entrance was only ¥200 for adults & they had free bicycle parking. When I went, there were only about 5 ppl. It was super quiet and peaceful plus the sound of the water fountain made it even more relaxing The Last Supper piece might look small in photos, but it’s actually pretty big. And the biggest painting? It literally made me gasp. SO. FREAKIN. BEAUTIFUL. Overall, such a great experience. Tho honestly, I probably wouldn’t go again unless they add more pieces (there were less than 10 artworks total, I think) Still, definitely a must-visit!

The cost is 200 yen. It has a the copies of great works. And they are so beautiful. They have waterfalls around which drowns out the city noises and gives a very relaxing atmosphere. I was there for a good while to enjoy the material. This is outdoor so most parts do not have a cover so if it rains you should bring an umbrella. It technically is three floors. The architecture is beautiful and simple. A lot of picture opportunities

It was just next to the exit of the Kitayama metro station. Reasonable entrance fee. Went there to see Tadao Ando's design. A rather surreal display of famous art / paintings as it was all displayed outdoors, with Monet's water lilies under water. Definitely a different experience. While we were there, a group of veterans were playing music.

There's only like 7-8 work of arts here if that's what you are for. My friend recommended this to me because I like Brutalist buildings and to be honest that's its actual appeal. The entrance fee is 200 yen so like one rice ball so you can just try.

it’s the first outdoor museum I’ve ever visited. Uniquely nice 💕

You won’t be disappointed if you are an Ando’s fan. The architecture itself is worth the trip and the ticket is only ¥100. You will see a lot of Ando’s signature design elements such as concrete walls, water and lighting.

Back in the day I'm sure this was iconic but it is so badly maintained that it has killed the vibe. The whole point of the design was the play between flowing water, rough concrete and angular natural light. The water is disgusting. The concrete shows the wear and moss from the water. The light is the saving grace. We happened to go the day after a cleaning and it was not clean. Borderline disrespectful to Tadao Ando's genius.
