[2025 Kanazawa Attraction] Travel Guide for 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa (Updated Mar)

Compared to the Suzuki Daisetsu Museum and the Ishikawa Prefectural Library that I previously introduced, the Kanazawa 21st Century Museum is much more famous. Designed by two renowned Japanese architects, Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, the museum adopts the concept of a 'town square,' combining art with a park to bring art closer to the general public. The oval-shaped glass curtain wall and irregular entrances allow people to appreciate the artworks from various angles. ~Tips: Make sure to reserve 'The Swimming Pool' in advance~ Among the award-winning architecture that won the 2010 Pritzker Architecture Prize, the most famous piece is undoubtedly 'The Swimming Pool' by Leandro Erlich. While you can buy tickets on the spot to visit the museum, 'The Swimming Pool' can be reserved in advance or visited as a walk-in. If you arrive and find out you can't visit or have to wait in a long line, you'll regret it. 🕰️Business Hours: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM, Closed on Mondays 📍Address: 1-2-1 Hirosaka, Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture 💰Average Cost: JPY 450

The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture is a famous tourist spot that you can't miss when visiting Kanazawa. It was established with the concept of creating new culture and making the city more lively. 👩🎨 The museum's signature piece, "Swimming Pool" by Argentine artist Leandro Erlich, is a much-talked-about piece that allows people to meet above and below ground through the surface of the pool, and it was extremely popular! In reality, water is just poured over transparent glass, but from above it feels like you're underwater, and below is a space dyed light blue! Each exhibition hall is divided into private rooms, and each room has its own unique worldview! The real Pikachu exhibit was particularly impressive and worth seeing! It was pretty realistic....🐭 The white interior is decorated with walls covered in flowers and cute chairs with bunny ears, and is filled with art and playful ideas that are unique to museums✨ *I also found Takashi Murakami's flower ball💐 Not only inside the museum, but also in the outdoor exhibition area, which is open to the public for free, the world of modern art is spread out, from art pieces that reproduce the three primary colors to art pieces of trumpets sticking out from the grass, making it a museum that is truly like a park! The "Spherical Pavilion" is a collection of many stainless steel spheres, and each landscape reflected in the sphere is subtly different, allowing you to experience a mysterious sense of perspective that draws you into a four-dimensional world like in a science fiction movie!

Wabi-Sabi in Japan is one of the core concepts in traditional Japanese aesthetics. It embodies an appreciation and respect for the imperfect, the impermanent, and the incomplete. The sense of Wabi-Sabi can be a profound experience during travel, especially in ancient capitals like Kyoto and Nara, as well as in various traditional arts and crafts. Travel Summary Exploring the Beauty of Wabi-Sabi During this trip to Japan, I deeply experienced the tranquility and profundity of Wabi-Sabi. From the ancient temples of Kyoto to the deer park in Nara, every place exuded a timeless beauty. In Kyoto, I visited the rock garden of Ryoanji Temple, where the serenity and simplicity purified my soul. The arrangement of stones and gravel seemed to tell an ancient story, inviting contemplation. Wabi-Sabi in Traditional Crafts At the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, I saw architectural works by Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, which showcased a modern interpretation of Wabi-Sabi through minimalist lines and open spaces. In many small shops in Kyoto, I was captivated by handmade ceramics and lacquerware, where every imperfection reflected the spirit of craftsmanship. Literature and Wabi-Sabi Japanese writers like Junichiro Tanizaki mentioned the concept of Wabi-Sabi in his work 'In Praise of Shadows,' where he believed that beauty exists in the shadows and the interplay of light and dark created by objects. Haiku poet Matsuo Basho's works often convey a deep understanding of nature and the passage of time, embodying the aesthetics of Wabi-Sabi. Wabi-Sabi and Modern Life In the fast-paced modern life, the sense of Wabi-Sabi reminds us to slow down and appreciate the simple and genuine beauty around us. Whether it's a cup of tea or a bouquet of flowers, they can become mediums for us to experience Wabi-Sabi.

#Me and my travels When you think of Kanazawa, the famous place is the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art✨Actually, I wanted to see the Leandro Erlich pool, which I often see, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a limit on the number of people, and by the time I arrived, the reservations were full😢If you absolutely want to go, you must make a reservation⚠️ I went there without doing much research, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see it without paying the admission fee to enter the museum, but I was able to enjoy a lot of things for free✨ There are lots of ways to enjoy the museum, such as outdoor works and photogenic spots indoors🥰💗It was so much fun that before I realized it, time had passed by in a flash😌 📍 Spot introduction━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Location: Kanazawa 21st Century Museum of Contemporary ArtAccess: 1-2-1 Hirosaka, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa PrefectureFeatures: A museum with many spots you can enjoy for free #Kanazawa Trip #Kanazawa #Art #Kanazawa 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art

🏞️Kanazawa is famous for its production of gold leaf, with 99% of Japan's gold leaf being produced in Kanazawa City. The traditional technique that allows gold leaf to be thinly extended to one ten-thousandth of a millimeter has become a representative craft of Kanazawa, renowned both near and far. 🇯🇵🚇Transportation in Kanazawa Our previous stop was Takayama, from where you can take a 🚌bus or a train🚊 to Kanazawa. If you buy bus tickets🎫 too late and they are sold out, you have to choose the train, which is not direct and requires a transfer in Toyama. Actually, it's more convenient to travel from Shirakawa-go to Kanazawa. Therefore, when you arrive at a place, make sure to buy your tickets🎫 in advance. 🏠Accommodation In Kanazawa, we stayed for three days and two nights, choosing to stay at a chain hotel, Mitsui Garden Hotel, which has a large public bath♨️ and a laundry room🧺. The hotel is over 1 kilometer from the JR station, and a taxi costs 1800 yen. Although it's a bit far from the station, it's very close to all the major attractions, all within walking distance🥾, which is very convenient. However, I do not recommend the hotel's 🍽️restaurant, as it's more expensive than outside and not very cost-effective. ☝️Kanazawa's 🍽️Cuisine and 🛝Touring Route 🈯️Day One Arrive in Kanazawa at noon, get the room, and immediately head to the Omi-cho Market to solve the food issue🍽️, about 200 meters from the hotel. The seafood at Omi-cho Market is plentiful and not expensive, with a rhythm that allows you to eat as you walk. 🦀Matsuba crab is a specialty, and you can buy live ones to be processed, which are fresh and sweet. 🍣🐟Fatty tuna, 🍥scallops, oysters🦪, 🦀crab, 🍤🦐shrimp, and various other seafood products are dazzling. The first day is spent indulging in great food and drink. 🈯️Day Two 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art ⏭️Kanazawa Castle Park⏭️Kenrokuen Garden⏭️Myoryuji Temple⏭️Oyama Shrine⛩️ 🌃The swimming pool at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art is a popular spot for photos, but other artworks are incomprehensible. 🏞️Kanazawa Castle Park and Kenrokuen Garden are together; you can reach Kenrokuen Garden by walking through the park. Kenrokuen Garden is one of the three great gardens of Japan, but it's quite crowded. You can try gold leaf ice cream🍦🍧🍨. 🛕Myoryuji Temple, built in 1643, is also known as the 🥷Ninja Temple due to its many traps and mechanisms. Photography🎦 is forbidden, and the interior is complex, appearing to have four stories from the outside but actually has seven. It's said that a well inside serves as a secret passage to Kanazawa Castle. You must call in advance to make a reservation, and they can speak English or Japanese. The cost is 1200 yen per person. Preschool children👧🧒👦👶 are not admitted. There is a Japanese guide, but you will be given a Chinese guidebook, which is recommended. If you don't know how to make a reservation, you can ask the hotel front desk staff for help. ⛩️Oyama Shrine has a bit of a mixed Eastern and Western feel. 🈯️Day Three 🚦Higashi Chaya District There are three Chaya districts: Higashi Chaya District, Nishi Chaya District, and Kazuemachi Chaya District. Inside, there are many places to enjoy tea, shops, and you can buy local specialty souvenirs, many of which are regionally limited.

The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, is a museum with a circular building design, featuring walls entirely made of glass. Inside, there are contemporary art exhibitions by various artists, including experimental contemporary art, available for viewing both permanently and on a rotating basis. Some parts of the exhibitions can be accessed for free. Artworks such as Wrapping (LAR Fernando ROMERO), The Man Who Measures the Clouds (Jan FABRE), Colour activity house (Olafur ELIASSON) are on display, and there are also cool design shops and souvenir stores where you can buy gifts.

#2024wish This museum is great fun with quirky, varied and thought provoking exhibits. It is totally contemporary so don't be looking for a permanent collection of Monet's lily pads out back. A lot of interactive pieces and video installations so I would recommend this for family visits. The architecture of building inside and out is something to behold ! Stunning. In 2024, I want to come back here ☺️
