While in Kyoto, we took a short excursion and visited Miho Museum(Koka city Shiga prefecture, Japan). A real architectural gem of IM Pei with an impressive collection of antiques from different parts of the world. The edgy museum building itself blends in perfectly with the beautiful natural surroundings. Recommend spending a whole day here.

The collection includes about 3,000 pieces of ancient art such as Egypt, Greece, Rome, West Asia, South Asia, and China, as well as Japanese art such as Buddhist art and tea ceremony art.

📷If you come to Kyoto to enjoy the cherry blossoms in spring, you must not miss a small secret place only about an hour away, that is the Miho Museum, known as "I.M. Pei's paradise". Today, I will take you to learn more about the wonders of this museum. 📍 Location: About 1 hour drive from Kyoto, located at Japan 〒529 - 1814 Shiga, Koka, Shigarakicho Tashiro, Taogu 300. 🚗 From Kyoto👉 JR Biwako Line (towards Yasu) about 15 minutes👉 "Ishiyama Station", from JR Ishiyama Station Platform 3,👉 150 Teisan Bus to Miho Museum (about 50 minutes); 🚗Taxi: Take a taxi from Ishiyama Station👉 Museum (about 35 minutes). 🌸The most beautiful art museum during the cherry blossom season From the beginning of the cherry blossom season, you can see the real-time "cherry blossom viewing information" of Meixiu. 📅【Blooming】March 28; 【Half-blooming】April 8; 【Full blooming】April 10 (please refer to the flowering period in 2024) The main cherry species here are late-blooming weeping cherry trees. When the cherry blossoms in Kyoto end, the cherry blossoms at the Miho Museum are at their peak. The weeping cherry tree trail is about 200 meters long and is a gentle uphill road. There are clusters of flowers on both sides, and the drooping branches sway gracefully, forming a magnificent cherry blossom waterfall. 🌳 Tour route ✅From parking lot → reception center → cherry blossom road → through the time tunnel → suspension bridge → square in front of the museum → entrance of the museum. 🌟There is only one entrance to the art museum. Visitors need to pass through a metal tunnel and a futuristic suspension bridge to see the true appearance of the art museum. During the cherry blossom season, the aluminum interior walls of the tunnel reflect the cherry blossom scenery outside the cave entrance, shrouding the tunnel in a light pink halo. #KyotoTravel #Miho Museum #Cherry Blossom Season #I.M.

Kyoto is a city full of history and culture, with temples everywhere. In Kyoto, you can experience the fusion of tradition and nature, and there are traditional buildings everywhere, giving you a completely different experience and feeling! 🔷🔷🔷My one-day tour guide to Kyoto suburbs: 🚗Transportation: Take the JR from Osaka to Kyoto Station (30 minutes) 🏨Accommodation: THE Royal Garden CANVAS Kyoto Nijo. 2-minute walk from Nijo Station 🗺️My one-day tour guide to Kyoto suburbs: ⏰Morning - Shinzen-en (5-minute walk from the hotel) 🕐Afternoon - Miho Museum (Take a bus from Kyoto Station to Ishiyama Station, then take a bus to Miho Museum) 🕤Evening - Kyukyochikuin (Take the JR from Ishiyama Station to Hieizan Sakamoto Station, walk for about 15 minutes) 💎Attraction features: 📍 Shinzen-en: Located near our hotel, we passed by it on our way to the station in the morning. It is the only surviving Heian-period building in Kyoto, and it is also a place for praying for rain. The most striking feature is the red bridge at the entrance, which is particularly bright and photogenic! Very distinctive! 📍 Miho Museum: Designed by architect I.M. Pei, it is a paradise inspired by Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring." After passing through a long tunnel, it is like a paradise, away from the hustle and bustle, and it is refreshing! 80% of the building is hidden in the mountains, surrounded by trees and mountains. There are also collections from all over the world to watch. If you have time, you must come and see! (🕐Tuesday-Sunday, 10:00-17:00) 📍 Kyukyochikuin: Very niche but can perfectly replace Ryokoin. Ryokoin is very crowded and you have to wait to take a photo of the reflection on the table. However, there are almost no people here, and there are tables with reflections on both floors, which are also very beautiful! (🕐Tuesday-Sunday, 9:00-17:00) 📌Small tips: 1️⃣The cafe at Miho Museum is not recommended. Please do not arrange lunch here because there is only one set menu option and it is not filling. The overall taste of cakes and meals is not very good, and the price is much higher. 2️⃣Buy a JPY1,000 ticket here: including round-trip bus fare and Miho Museum admission ticket. Then, there is no need to buy tickets for all exhibitions in the museum! 3️⃣The admission ticket for Kyukyochikuin is less than half of that for Ryokoin, only JPY300. I happened to see its first light show and night view (JPY2,000/person). You need to book tickets in advance and enter at the specified time. It is a very different experience!

Miho Museum in Koka, Shiga Prefecture The road was quite a long one, as it was quite a mountain path, but once we arrived, it was so wide and grandiose. There is a building just past the parking lot, and inside there is a shop and information center. If you buy a ticket there and go straight ahead, you will come to the famous tunnel, and once you go through it, you will find the museum. It was pretty close, at 5pm, so we didn't go into the museum, but just went to see the tunnel. There were not many people, so we were able to take photos, but there were a lot of Chinese tourists. #breathtakingview #coupletrip #breathtakingview #breathtakingview

Its going to the cherry blossom season, and the beautiful tunnel will soon turn pink. However, I have seen the green tunnel scenery in summer, full of people's pink, always lacking some calm. However, under the blue sky, cherry blossoms are always the most beautiful. ( )
