[2025 Tokyo Attraction] Travel Guide for Yayoi Kusama Museum (Updated Mar)

This time, I'm sharing my plan for traveling alone. I flew from Bangkok at night and arrived at Narita Airport in the morning, so I had plenty of time to travel. 🤗 𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃 🏮 Day 1 🏮 🎏 Apa Hotel Ueno Eki Minami ⟡ Travel from the airport by Skyliner ⟡ Leave your luggage at the hotel and stay at Hotel APA Ueno Eki Minami 🎏 Negishi ⟡ Go for lunch. Thick, soft, juicy beef tongue. The shop is right across from JR Ueno Station. It's on the 2nd floor. Take the elevator to get there. Many Japanese people come to eat here (Ueno Station). 🎏 Go exchange your Tokyo Subway card ⟡ Buy it online. You can use it to ride the subway in Tokyo unlimited times. 🎏 Natsumezaka Coffee ⟡ Come to this cafe before going to the museum. It's not far away. It's a very quiet little cafe (Waseda Station) 🎏 YAYOI KUSAMA Museum ⟡ We came here again. I really like the auntie's work. They change the exhibitions all the time. You can check the opening date and buy tickets in advance on their website (yayoikusamamuseum.jp) 🎏 Shinjuku ⟡ Go for a walk, go shopping, and grab a doll 🎏 Takeya (Purple Building) ⟡ Finally, we went to buy some snacks at the purple building. It's very close to our accommodation. We bought some snacks and walked back to our room comfortably. 𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃 🏮 Day 2 🏮 🎏 Blue Bottle Coffee - Kiyosumi-Shirakawa Flagship Cafe ⟡ This is a cafe that we've wanted to go to for a long time. We had to make a plan to come here because it's not on the way at all. 5555 The coffee is delicious, just as we intended to come. There were a lot of people (Waseda Station) Kiyosumi-Shirakawa exit A3) 🎏 Asakusa Shrine (Sensoji) ⟡ We will come to pray here every time we come to Tokyo for peace of mind and good fortune (Asakusa Station) 🎏 Tonkyu ⟡ I found this shop by accident. It is a small shop near the entrance to the temple. I don't feel embarrassed to eat alone, lol. It is a delicious fried pork rice shop and the owner is cute. 🎏 Meiji Shrine ⟡ I also came to pray to the gods at Meiji Shrine. This place is very big. I recommend leaving some time to walk around. The atmosphere is very good and very shady (Meiji-Jingumae Harajuku Station). If you have time left, you can walk around Harajuku-Shibuya until late at night. Or go up Shibuya Sky, I also recommend it. 😉 𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃 That's the end of my short plan in Tokyo. At that time, I had a little time to travel alone. Try adjusting your plan. #triptravelchina #traveljapan #travelalone #sharetravelplan #collecttravelplan #travelabroad #japan #tokyo #traveljapanbyyourself

When you see the colorful dot pattern, there should be a lot of people who think of Yayoi Kusama as soon as I do! When I saw her famous pumpkin work, I was fascinated on the spot. I think there should be a lot of girls who love the work of Yayoi Kusama. Kusama Yayois hometown is in Matsumoto City, Matsumoto Citys municipal Matsumoto City Art Museum is mainly her exhibition, even the drink vending machine is her pattern.

#Tokyo Attractions My first stop on this trip to Tokyo was the Yayoi Kusama Museum in Shinjuku. Stepping into this small art museum designed specifically for Yayoi Kusama is like entering her unique artistic universe. The museum is divided into multiple floors, displaying her classic works, including the colorful "Polka Dot Pumpkin" and the shocking "Infinity Mirror Room". Each work makes people deeply feel Yayoi Kusama's artistic language that is full of imagination and vitality. Among them, the "Infinity Mirror Room" is one of the most amazing exhibitions. Through the reflection of mirrors and the changes of lights, it creates an endless sense of space, immersing people in an eternal dream world. In addition to the visual shock, Yayoi Kusama's creations also convey her thoughts on life, which made me feel deeply inspired while watching them. After the visit, I picked up some small items with polka dot designs in the museum's souvenir shop as a unique souvenir of this trip.

#Tokyo Attractions 🕰️Opening Hours: 11am to 5:30pm 📍Address: 15 minutes walk from Tokyo Metro Waseda Station 💰Average consumption per person: 1100 yen per person, need to book online 💞Reason for recommendation: Yayoi Kusama is one of my favorite artists, a famous artist with a special personality and her creations all with spots. This time I came to Tokyo to visit his art exhibition. The whole building is very artistic. Some exhibits cannot be photographed. Those that can be photographed are very beautiful, and stylish, most famous for its spotted pumpkin 🎃💕

#thingstodo The small museum was a bit underwhelming as we thought the Tokyo location will feature more variety of her beautiful art.

Please read the museum guidelines as they clearly explain what is expected from visitors. There is no food or drinks available for purchase in the museum. Overall it was a nice visit but we expected more.
