Tokugawa Art Museum
# 8   of 9 sights
in Nagoya

During the Edo Period (1600-1868), Nagoya served as the seat of the Owari, one of the three major branches of the ruling Tokugawa family.

The Tokugawa Art Museum preserves and exhibits the belongings of the Owari, who in terms of wealth were surpassed by only four of the nearly 200 feudal domains of the Edo Period. The exhibits include samurai armor, swords, tea utensils, noh masks and costumes, poems, scrolls and maps.

Tokugawaen, a Japanese landscape garden, is located next to the museum. The garden used to be part of a retirement residence of the local lords, but was destroyed during the war. From 2001 the garden was reconstructed as a traditional Japanese landscape garden and reopened to the public in 2004.

Tokugawaen

How to get there
The museum is a ten minute walk from the south exit of JR Ozone Station, which can be accessed from Nagoya Station by the frequently operating JR Chuo Line (12 minutes, 190 yen). Ozone Station is also served by the Meijo Subway Line.

Furthermore, the museum is also located along the Meguru loop bus line for tourists, by which it can be reached from Nagoya Station in about 40 minutes or from Nagoya Castle in about 15 minutes. The fare is 200 yen per ride or 500 yen for a day pass.
