▲Shizuoka City Tokaido Hiroshige Museum of Art　【Long-Term Closure】

🖼️ Spot Overview

The Shizuoka City Tokaido Hiroshige Museum of Art is dedicated to the ukiyo‑e master Utagawa Hiroshige, famous for his vibrant woodblock prints of the Tokaido Road. The museum offers an accessible introduction to Japanese art, even for visitors unfamiliar with ukiyo‑e. Exhibits include rotating displays of original prints, interactive explanations, and hands‑on experiences where guests can try traditional woodblock printing. The building itself blends modern design with a calm, Japanese aesthetic, making it a relaxing cultural stop. Located in Yui, a former Tokaido post town, the museum provides a unique window into travel, landscape, and daily life in Edo‑period Japan.

Due to facility renovation and equipment replacement, the Shizuoka City Tokaido Hiroshige Museum of Art will be closed from Monday, June 1, 2026, until the end of March 2027. The museum is scheduled to reopen in early April.
