Yokohama Museum of Art

① Access from Tokyo From Tokyo Station, take the Tokaido Line to Yokohama Station, transfer to the Minatomirai Line, and ride to Minatomirai Station (40 min). 5-minute walk from Minatomirai Station. ② Cost Train fare: ¥700, Admission: ¥2000 ③ Review A museum conveniently located near Minatomirai Station. Its stylish architecture complements the modern landscape of the Minatomirai area. The Kanai wing is divided into temporary exhibitions and permanent exhibitions on opposite sides. The layout is well-designed, allowing visitors to naturally transition to the permanent exhibition after viewing the temporary one. The February 2026 special exhibition is titled "Always Beside You." It explores the exchange of art between Japan and Korea. The scope is broad, ranging from works related to the identity of Koreans in Japan to pieces that served as an antithesis to East-West division, including groundbreaking satellite broadcasts that connected the world at the time. A fascinating museum that can't be fully experienced in a short time.

In the centre of Yokohama you will find the art gallery. The entry fee is approx 1000yen per adult entry or 3600 for 2 adult. The collection is relatively small in size but some amazing well known artists. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Easy walk from all of the other Yokohama sites. Good if you have a few spare hours.

The art museum with beautiful exterior. They hold special exhibitions with different themes several times a year. Yokohama was a small fishing village until around 1850. But after the international port was built, it developed rapidly and became the metropolis like today. The exhibition introducing the history of Yokohama was very interesting. But I don't know if these exhibits are always on display.

A very emotional experience. The art is curated so well that I am actually considering coming back again soon because they actually changed the exhibition every 3 months or so. Just a friendly reminder for special exhibition you always have to book ahead because they always sell out.

The building itself is beautiful. A rich collection of Japanese and European art (Dali, Magritte, Kandinsky, Bacon, Ernst and more) with descriptions also in English.

A wonderful world class museum . We saw Masahiko Sato’s exhibition … simply wonderful, smart and funny.. one of the world’s best minds !!! The museum and permanent exhibits were also awesome. Please go!!!

I went for the permanent exhibit/collection only and was surprised by the WW2/anti-war messaging from the get-go. Very cool and powerful! The art was wonderful and there was a section all about art and how you think about it. Engaging stuff. The staff were also very lovely to interact with.

I wish I read the reviews before visiting! The museum/gallery has been closed for many years and now it’s finally reopened, but what a disappointment. The entrance fee is high at 2,500 per person but the ‘exhibits’ were generally weak and of poor quality. I’ve seen better art work from first year undergraduates than what was on public display here. My friend and I wanted to leave almost immediately, but felt after the expensive entrance fee we will walk around the whole place. In total we were there for 20 minutes, and really disappointed.
