Tokyo's Art Sanctuary: A Time Travel Experience at The National Art Center

Towering over the streets of Roppongi, The National Art Center is a futuristic space designed by world-renowned architect Kisho Kurokawa. With Japan's largest exhibition area spanning 14,000 square meters, the center does not host permanent exhibitions but instead offers fresh themed exhibitions each time. From masterpieces of the Louvre to works by Yayoi Kusama and Makoto Shinkai, visitors can enjoy a diverse range of artistic experiences across genres. **Highlights**: ・The undulating glass exterior walls and a courtyard bathed in natural light ・The inverted cone-shaped restaurant & café, which also served as a setting for the movie "Your Name" (great views included!) ・A free art library with 30 seats for quiet research on artworks **Access**: Directly connected to Exit 6 of Nogizaka Station on the Chiyoda Line, and a 5-minute walk from Roppongi Station on the Hibiya Line. **Recommendations**: Opening hours are from 10 AM to 6 PM (extended until 8 PM on Fridays). Admission is free, but exhibition fees apply. The museum shop's original merchandise is also popular! A perfect day for art enthusiasts.
