Free building access is not a gallery ticket
Entering the museum’s public spaces is free, while the Asia Gallery collection display and special exhibitions have their own admissions. Pick the exhibition first and check its dates. Café and other public-area hours differ from gallery closing times.
An easy art-and-street pairing
Kawabata Shopping Arcade and Kushida Shrine make useful companions. On a rainy day, the gallery can be the main visit, with the arcade as a shorter browse. Remember the Wednesday closure and 26 December–1 January holiday closure when comparing it with the Monday-closing museum at Ohori.
