MOA Museum of Art

The view from the museum is beautiful🥰 Thankfully the coin lockers here are free of charge, meaning I can enjoy the space without my bags. The exhibition I went to was super interesting, scrolls about a fantastical tragic love story from ancient times. The glass was so clear that I sometimes forget about it, and when you take pictures there's no reflection. The outside Japanese garden is also fun to walk around. Would spend about 2-3 hours here, if you don't sit down and eat.

This is one of those musuems where every part of the musuem architecture is thoughtfully designed and works of art in their own right. I found myself stopping at random points in hallways and doorways, admiring the tasteful thought put into it. The museum sits on top of a steep hill above Atami city, and can be accessed by driving or public bus. The viewing gallery near the entrance provides a paranmoc view of Atami, the sea and the museum compound. There are permanent galleries housing collections of mainly Japanese paintings, pottery and crafts.

This museum is a must. Not many art pieces but the architecture is breathtaking and the atmosphere and views inside and out are amazing. Staff is very nice and we loved the little coffe shop at the end of our visit.

MOA Art Museum 8.5/10 1) Access from Tokyo Take the Tokaido Shinkansen from Tokyo Station to Atami Station and get off at Atami Station, about 40 minutes. From Atami Station, get off at the last stop of the bus bound for MOA Museum of Art building, and it takes about 10 minutes. 2) Cost 9,000 yen for transportation, 2,000 yen for admission fee 3) Review The museum is located on a hill in Atami. The founder, Mokichi Okada, was a religious man, but he originally wanted to pursue a career in art and has a deep knowledge of it. After taking a bus to the top of the hill, visitors can take an escalator up to the top of the hill, where they are surprised to find that the facility is much larger than they expected and imagined. Although it is an art museum, it also has a Noh theater within the facility, where Noh performances are held. In front of the Noh theater, there is a video showing the secrets of the Noh theater, which is very interesting. The golden tea room where Toyotomi Hideyoshi entertained the emperor of the time has been recreated, and a calligraphy by Toyotomi Hideyori gives visitors a sense of history. In addition, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of Sagami Bay and be dazzled by the beauty of Atami. There are too many spots to enjoy before entering the exhibition rooms! The July 25 exhibition is an exhibition of works by Japanese living national treasures. The transparency of the glass in the exhibition room is so amazing that you cannot tell that there is glass between you and the exhibits at all, allowing you to concentrate on the artwork. A wonderful project and environment that shows the excellence of the works of the living national treasures. The facility has French, Japanese, Soba, and coffee shops to satisfy your lunch needs.

Interesting 20th century scroll paintings, ceramics, and basket art. There is a beautiful garden with a teahouse serving Japanese food. There is a shuttle from the train station. Then you go up 7 escalators to reach the museum. There is a colourful ceiling that changes like a kaleidoscope.

Small museum on top of a hill. The museum has 3 floors and you an get here by bus. There's a bunch of escalators to the top. We had a rental car so we parked on the 3rd floor. Also saw a bunch of taxis. So I would advies to take one of those options and don't try to walk. The museum itself is nice. There are a lot of woodblockprints and a golden tea room. The garden outside had nice views if the bay below. They also have a small bamboo grove and a few old tea house that were eithere rebuilt or relocated to this area.

MOA is located on the top of the hill. Take a bus nr 8 from the Atami station, it takes about 7min ride and you will reach the museum. Galleries are in two levels, there is a 3rd but as for guest rooms. I had a coffee inside in their cafe. Outside is a Japanese restaurant and a Japanese traditional teahouse. Recommend when in Atami. At the end - make a stop at Crystal Hall, which is an observation hall, just a few minutes on foot from the bus stop. Free of charge and an absolute beautiful panoramic view of Atami.

A breathtaking architectural gem sits atop a hill in Atami. Two tiers of escalators with illuminated ceiling from the underground passageway lead visitors into the museum. At the top of the escalators, an open foyer with spiral-patterned fiber reinforced roof beckons with lights projected at intervals. The museum is airy and spacious. A beautiful cafe with seating besides a wall of windows offers a sweeping view of Sagami bay / Pacific ocean beyond on the first floor. The museum houses traditional calligraphy, textiles, paintings and pottery exhibits but we did not have a lot of time to explore them all (closing time is 4:30pm). The museum ground also includes a garden but it seemed to be closed early in early spring.

The art in this museum... I don't think it would appeal to tons of people, in my opinion. At least when I was here, there were a lot of bowls and drawers and plates in the exhibition and that's not really my style unfortunately.. however, the museum itself is quite lovely and offers such a nice view of Atami. It's not at all far from the station either! Just a quick bus ride away. I would come here for a relaxing time. Maybe stay for a few hours before other shops open and you can head back down at lunch time. I would recommend their lovely tea house though. It's a unique experience. It's very quiet and serene, because it's in the middle or the museum's garden. It's probably a bit of a tourist trap but this is better than going to really plain and expensive museum cafes! Either way, I do recommend this place. Maybe best in the spring or summer. To enjoy the Sakura or the beautiful view on a clear summer day. Atami is such a nice place overall that I hope you all give it a try!
