MOA Museum of Art

Take an easy daytrip from Tokyo to immerse yourself in the beauty of Japan’s four seasons, performing arts, tea ceremony and centuries of artwork, all in one place: the MOA Museum of Art, in the coastal resort city of Atami.

Perched on a hill overlooking Sagami Bay, this vast museum not only houses masterpieces of Japanese art, but is also known for its spectacular gardens, tea room and more, allowing them to curate a tour exclusively for you and your group.

First, follow in the footsteps of the British royal family as you watch the elegant dances of Atami’s geisha, while savoring Japanese cuisine prepared using the same utensils and surrounded by the same tea room decor that was used when receiving the Duke of Edinburgh in 1992.

Next up is a private noh performance, where you will get to experience this UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in a traditional theater. Guests on this tour will also get special access to areas of ​​the former home of painter Ogata Korin, to see his art and experience an intimate tea ceremony.

Furthermore, you will get exclusive access to the galleries after closing time, for an entirely private viewing of the exhibitions guided by the director or curator at the MOA Museum of Art.

A professional photographer will be on hand to capture memories of your unforgettable trip.
