🏛️ Architecture Walk | Meguro, Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum 🇯🇵

#summervacay
Hidden in the serene neighborhood of Shirokanedai, the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum is a rare gem that blends French Art Deco elegance with traditional Japanese craftsmanship.

Originally built in 1933 as the residence of Prince Asaka (朝香宮邸), the architecture reflects a unique East-meets-West style.

🏯 Architecture by the Imperial Household Ministry
🎨 Interior design led by French artist Henri Rapin
The detailing—from glass panels to metalwork—embodies refined beauty and timeless taste.
🔒 Most indoor areas are photography-free, but trust me, the atmosphere itself will linger in your memory.

📍Address: 5-21-9 Shirokanedai, Minato City, Tokyo
🕰️ Opening hours: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM (Last admission: 5:30 PM)
❌ Closed on the 2nd & 4th Wednesday of each month + New Year holidays

If you're into architecture, design, or simply slow travel with depth—this is a stop not to be missed.
