Private Tour at The Museum of the Imperial Collections, Sannomaru Shozokan

The Museum of the Imperial Collections, Sannomaru Shozokan, is located inside the East Garden of Tokyo Imperial Palace. It exhibits many masterpieces, once treasured by the Imperial Family, on a rotating basis. Its collection spans diverse genres, including calligraphy, painting, and decorative arts. Visitors can view iconic, celebrated works from various periods of Japan’s history through the well-curated exhibitions at the gallery newly opened in November 2023.

About the Museum: In 1989, His Majesty the Emperor Emeritus and His mother Empress Kojun gifted a substantial collection of art to the nation that had been passed down by the Imperial Family through generations. In 1993, the Museum of the Imperial Collections was established in order to conserve, research, and exhibit these works to the public. Since then, its collection has been growing through additional gifts from other members of the Imperial Family. After a few years of construction, in the autumn of 2023, the Museum reopened with new gallery spaces. The Museum is still expanding, and a full reopening is planned for 2026.
