Hiroshi Senju Museum Karuizawa

You’re not allowed to take photos, but you get tickets on the machine in the front. The architecture was gorgeous and we enjoyed the collection inside. They also had a cool showing at the time that we also liked. Make sure to keep quiet though! There’s another gallery and store in the same plaza so be sure to explore.

Rather than the artworks, which I honestly found quite repetitive, I personally took more pleasure in the architectural spaces. They sinuously and elegantly craft areas between the surrounding forest and circular inner garden islands of carefully chosen plants, all enclosed by large glass panes.

The architecture of this museum its outstanding!!! So beautiful

One of the most popular art museums to visit in Karuizawa. Do NOT miss this place!!! (no photos allowed inside; so pls check it out yourself)

Remarkable. Male sure you see the video - which runs every 20 mins or so, and visit the museum shop.

A great architecture, garden and art. A must see in the area.

Evocative architecture and artwork. The place, the nature, and the content on display are all first class. Worth the long walk there. Not accessible by public transport. We walked for 20mins from the busstop opp high school.

We traveled a long way to see the gallery. We arrived at 16:34 and we were refused entry despite the website saying the museum closed at 17:00. No mention of a last entry time. The security guard at the gate was also very rude. Very disappointing and poor service.
