A space exuding Meiji elegance! Experience Western classic beauty at the Tokyo National Museum’s Hyokeikan

Located in a corner of the Tokyo National Museum, the "Hyokeikan" stands out with its classical architecture reminiscent of a European palace, a hidden gem known as a "space of beauty"! 🏰✨
Built in 1909 to commemorate the marriage of the Crown Prince (later Emperor Taisho), this building is a representative example of Meiji-era Western-style architecture. Its exterior features an impressive dome roof, and inside, the marble columns and chandeliers create a glamorous atmosphere that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into another world…! 💫🕯️
The architecture itself is like a work of art, and just walking around gives you the feeling of a "retro architecture stroll." It’s also perfect for photos, making it an irresistible spot for art and architecture lovers! 📸
The museum often hosts special exhibitions and events for limited periods, offering a unique perspective on history and art. Even without exhibitions, the building alone is enough to enjoy, so it’s definitely worth a visit when you’re in Ueno!
Hyokeikan shines with a different kind of "Western beauty" compared to the Toyokan and Honkan buildings. Experience a slightly elegant time in this space where history and elegance blend together♪ 🎻🖼️
