Famous collection of Japanese and Asian arts with the must-see beautiful Japanese garden, located in fashionable Aoyama-Omotesando area. Taro Okamoto Memorial Museum is a 2-minuite walk away.

At Nezu Museum, you'll find Asian antiques emphasizing Buddhist and tea-ceremony artifacts, a moss-covered Japanese garden filled with teahouses, winding stone paths, and maple-shaded koi ponds.

The museum was decent but the gardens out back are amazing. Worth going for that alone.

Beautiful things, not a huge selection, and you’re not allowed to take any photos of them, so you can’t really be inspired by them or remember them later. The garden js magnificent.

The garden is what this museum is known for. Take a stroll down and you'll find a magical iris garden in the pond area.

Fantastic garden in the back! The exhibition space itself is very traditional Japanese minimalist, albeit a bit small.

Fantastic museum with a beautiful garden. Tranquil.

Gardens are stunning. Museum, while smallish, is fantastic. 1000¥? Cheap! A great way to spend a few hours.

The best thing is the big and beautiful japanese garden behind the museum, a refreshing and "accurately wild" oasis during summer.

Visited recently and was very disappointed. The place is tiny, crowded and cramped, made worse by the security guards in uniform everywhere who kept getting in the way of the paying visitors.
