Walking the streets of Tokyo, you'll encounter numerous art museums and museums, historical buildings, and stunning modern architecture. You'll also encounter small art museums and museums tucked away in Okutama, hidden art spots around corners, and public art that blends seamlessly into the cityscape. Tokyo is filled with a diverse range of world-class art experiences, from history and tradition to cutting-edge contemporary art and subculture, unlike any other city in the world.
This book introduces 366 art spots that will accompany you on a journey to rediscover Tokyo's fascinating art scene. For this issue, I revisited 366 locations, including art spots that moved me during my 18 years of work with the Tokyo City Guide Club, as well as unearthing the charms of Tokyo from a foreign perspective based on my experiences living abroad.
