[2025 Kanazawa Attraction] Travel Guide for 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa (Updated Mar)

Compared to the Suzuki Daisetsu Museum and the Ishikawa Prefectural Library that I previously introduced, the Kanazawa 21st Century Museum is much more famous. Designed by two renowned Japanese architects, Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, the museum adopts the concept of a 'town square,' combining art with a park to bring art closer to the general public. The oval-shaped glass curtain wall and irregular entrances allow people to appreciate the artworks from various angles. ~Tips: Make sure to reserve 'The Swimming Pool' in advance~ Among the award-winning architecture that won the 2010 Pritzker Architecture Prize, the most famous piece is undoubtedly 'The Swimming Pool' by Leandro Erlich. While you can buy tickets on the spot to visit the museum, 'The Swimming Pool' can be reserved in advance or visited as a walk-in. If you arrive and find out you can't visit or have to wait in a long line, you'll regret it. 🕰️Business Hours: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM, Closed on Mondays 📍Address: 1-2-1 Hirosaka, Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture 💰Average Cost: JPY 450

The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa was established in 2004. It won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Architecture Biennale a month before its opening. The main design concept came from female architect Kazuyo Sejima. Kanazawa Museum of Art inherits the transparent elements of Kazuyo Kajima, and its exterior walls are made of transparent glass or colored transparent glass. When the lights are turned on at night, the glittering light creates a sense of mystery, like a UFO. Therefore, many residents come here for a walk after dinner, and many people also choose this place as their wedding venue. The swimming pool in the museum is the most famous design. Whether you look from above or below the swimming pool, you will have the illusion that people are living in the water. When I went there, there was a long queue on the floor below the swimming pool, but it was still worth it. The exhibition part is also very exciting, be sure to make time to visit! #OverseasTravel #Kanazawa #Japan #JapaneseAttractions #JapanTravel

Address: 1 Chome-2-1 Hirosaka, Kanazawa, Ishikawa 920-8509, Japan Getting there: Take a bus to Hirosaka bus stop, from there it is just a few steps to the museum. Highlights: The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art exhibits works of acclaimed contemporary artists from Japan and all over the world, and is among Japan's most popular art museums. What I like the most of this museum is its unique architecture. The museum is comprised of a circular building, with no facade or main entrance. It was designed without a front or back to discourage its patrons from approaching the museum, and consequently its art, from only one direction. 😆 Opening hours: 9am to 10pm daily, closed on Monday. Admission fee: 1200yen #asiatrip #japantravel #unique Architecture

#SummerWeekendTrip #Kenrokuen #Himito #NinjaTemple #Hiramipan Two women on a trip. We drove from Fukui, saw moving dinosaurs, and visited a moss garden before heading to Kanazawa. On the second day, we went to Kenrokuen. It was raining lightly, so the trees and moss were shining beautifully. We went to Himito to see the dandelion art. We were immersed in the fantastical world view. After that, we enjoyed the Ninja Temple at Myoryuji Temple. On the last day, we had a nice brunch at Hiramipan before heading home.

This museum, where you can go into the pool, is one of the best contemporary art museums in the country. It is always crowded with tourists, so I recommend purchasing tickets in advance before visiting! Advance reservations are required for the swimming pool in the photo.
