This Ando designed museum has interesting exhibits - the current one is on handcrafts that are done by artisans. The charming park is great for a stroll.

Hikawa Shrine

Reviewed By ellenbR4096MW - Hortonville, United States

We attended our daughter's Shinto wedding ceremony at this beautiful shrine last week. It is an oasis in the middle of a crazy busy city. I listened carefully, no sound of the city penetrated the peaceful gardens. The Shinto priests were so incredibly kind and helpful during the ceremony. The shrine staff helped all of us guests throughout the event. Our daughter and son-in-law had helpers for every stage. Two women helped our daughter with her makeup, hair, and getting into the beautiful kimono. I definitely recommend it if you would like a peaceful, serene interlude during your time in Tokyo.

Suntory Museum of Art

Reviewed By himawarisun

At first I was hesitant to give Suntory Museum a try. However, I ended up liking the museum so much that I visited twice, and I thoroughly enjoyed it both times! No pictures are allowed but the exhibits were so beautiful that they left a lasting impression in my memory. Yes, the museum is small and the admission is more expensive. On the plus side, the atmosphere is great--less crowded than the bigger museums, quiet, spacious--and the quality is excellent. I like that the museum has a small collection of high quality items rather than hundreds of items that are not so memorable. The museum store is also a nice place to browse. It has reasonable prices and doesn't feel too touristy. The Suntory Museum is conveniently located in Tokyo Midtown, a high-end shopping mall, which is also a nice place to window shop or grab a bite to eat. It is connected to Roppongi Station as well, so it's easy to get to via public transportation. Tip: You can get a 100yen discount if you show the coupon from their website!

Hinokicho Park

Reviewed By rosieo977 - Houston, United States

This park is a gem. It’s peaceful and in November the fall colors are gorgeous. It’s a few minutes walk from my hotel The B. Roppongi. I had my lunch on a bench and watched lots of people strolling and taking pictures. Great spot for kids since there’s a playground area.
