Nezu Museum

A museum founded to preserve and show the collection of Japanese and East Asian antiques gathered by the businessman Nezu Kaichiro (1860-1940), opened in 1941 on the site of the Nezu family residence. Largely destroyed in 1945 air raids, it reopened its exhibitions in a shack in the autumn of 1946; today's main building was designed by Kengo Kuma. The collection numbers 7,630 items (as of March 2025), including 7 National Treasures and 93 Important Cultural Properties, and a garden with tea houses and stone lanterns, often called an oasis in the city, now has easy-to-walk stone paths.
