A fulfilling viewing experience - This was my first visit to the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum. It was crowded as it was the last weekend of the special exhibition, but everyone from the security guards to the receptionist was kind and made us feel comfortable. The restrooms are clean and plentiful, and you don't have to wait. The exhibition had a huge amount of content that was well organized and easy to understand.

Immerse yourself in the world of The Tale of Genji - There were many works on display depicting the elegant scenes of the Heian period. Starting from Kiritsubo, the plot is written with the exhibits, so if you take your time to read through, you will be able to understand the whole story. The restored costumes of "Two Ladies Performing a Demonstration" in front of the entrance were also gorgeous and worth seeing. If you have time, we recommend checking out the permanent exhibition.

You can get tickets for about 300 yen cheaper, so it's a great deal! You can also enter smoothly without having to wait. - Since I had made a reservation in advance, I was able to get my ticket just by showing the voucher, and I also got a discount of about 300 yen thanks to various discount services, so it was a good deal!

A legacy for the future - It was truly amazing. Life must have been difficult in those days, but I think it's amazing that those who created and wrote it were able to do so. And I also think it's amazing that those who later unearthed it were able to do so. I would like to pass this on to my successors as much as I can.

Nice - It was great to see a real camel specimen! The walls were lined with promotional posters from past exhibitions, giving it a sense of history. There are chairs in the exhibition room, so you can take your time looking around. Buses run frequently, so it's easy to get there.

World Heritage Silk Road Exhibition - In addition to the permanent exhibition, there are many unique and wonderful exhibits held at the special exhibitions, so I have been there several times, even though it is in the suburbs of Hachioji and transportation is inconvenient. This time, I went to see the World Heritage Silk Road Exhibition. The museum displays the Silk Road's treasures from major museums and research institutions in China, such as Luoyang, Xi'an, Lanzhou, Dunhuang, and Xinjiang. There are also national treasure-class exhibits, and given the current situation, I was able to see many valuable items that I would never be able to see in my lifetime. I was particularly impressed by the exhibit of a fragment of the Lotus Sutra, which I was surprised was taken out of the country. It reminded me of the thoughts and admiration I had when I read Yasushi Inoue's novel Dunhuang when I was in junior high school. As other people have posted, the permanent exhibition is also worth seeing. Even if you don't have detailed knowledge, the explanations are easy to understand and thorough, so I recommend that anyone who is interested visit.
