Tokyo is home to hundreds of museums and art galleries. Many of the most iconic, such as the Tokyo National Museum and the National Museum of Western Art, are clustered within the parklands of Ueno Park. For those seeking modern and contemporary works, the Roppongi Art Triangle—comprising the Mori Art Museum, the Suntory Museum of Art, and the National Art Center, Tokyo—is another essential geographic hub for the arts. Entrance fees for museums typically range from ¥600 to ¥1,200, while major art galleries and special exhibitions often cost between ¥1,200 and ¥2,500, with discounts available for children and senior citizens.
If you plan on visiting several facilities throughout the city, consider the Grutto Pass, which provides discounted or free entry to over 100 venues throughout the capital. As a general rule, most museums close on Mondays (unless it is a public holiday, in which case they often close on Tuesday) and during the New Year holiday period.
