This is a national museum in Kyoto City. It houses cultural assets centered on Kyoto from the Heian period to the Edo period. With a large collection of Japanese cultural assets such as Buddhist statues, paintings, and ceramics, it is a spot where you can enjoy an intellectual journey into history and beauty.
Founded in the Meiji era, Kyoto National Museum is located in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City, directly across from Sanjusangendo Temple. The museum houses and exhibits numerous cultural assets, including precious national treasures, from the Heian to Edo periods, including Buddhist statues, paintings, calligraphy, ceramics, and dyed textiles. The museum's collection of Buddhist art is particularly extensive, dazzling with its historical value and beauty.

The museum's grounds are home to two buildings, the Meiji Kotokan Hall and the Heisei Chishinkan Hall, which feature architectural styles from different eras. The Meiji Kotokan Hall is a beautiful red brick building designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan, and its exterior alone is worth a visit. The Heisei Chishinkan Hall, on the other hand, features a more contemporary design and spacious exhibits of cultural assets. Experience the beauty of both old and new architecture while immersing yourself in Japanese history and culture.
