[2024 Atami Attraction] Travel Guide for MOA Museum of Art (Updated Dec)

📍Atami MOA Museum of Art Japanese Garden

📍MOA Museum of Art in Atami, Shizuoka. It's famous for its hall with a ceiling that looks like a kaleidoscope, but did you know that the Japanese garden inside the museum is also beautiful? I went there when the leaves were just starting to turn red, and the leaves lit up in the light were beautiful! There are also paths and places where you can peek inside, which is exciting❗️ The shops in the garden were closed when I went, so it might be a good idea to check in advance! There's also a small river in the garden, which is also a great way to tickle the hearts of camera lovers📷! (Taking pictures of water is fun, isn't it!) If you're going to the MOA Museum of Art in Atami, be sure to visit the Japanese garden as well❗️ #Atami #ShizuokaTrip #0YenTripNovember

A Day at MOA Museum of Art

When you visit Atami, besides enjoying the sea, you should definitely spend half a day exploring the MOA Museum of Art. This time, I was lucky enough to catch the Pokemon x Kogei exhibition, which runs until September 9th. In addition to the exhibition, if the weather is nice, the view outside the glass windows is stunning, with blue skies, white clouds, and the ocean, making it a perfect spot for photos. My favorite part is the ceiling art installation in the lobby, which changes patterns to the rhythm of the music. Next time you visit, be sure to check out any special exhibitions they might have. The location is very convenient, just a 10-minute bus ride from Atami Station, making it well worth spending half a day there. 🕰️ Opening Hours: 09:30-16:30 Closed: Thursdays 📍 Address: 26-2 Momoyama-cho, Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture 💰 Average Cost: 1760 yen (~100 HKD)

Atami Trip: MOA Museum of Art

#aug_trip MOA Museum of Art is located on a hill overlooking the sea, a 10-minute buzz ride from Atami Station. There are many enjoyable spots on the vast grounds, such as the spectacular views, art, Noh theater, gardens, and food, which are hard to believe for a museum. The illuminated art in the dome-shaped circular hall built underground, about 20 meters in diameter and 10 meters in height, was particularly beautiful. The garden's green bathing also helped to relieve the summer heat and fatigue.

MOA Museum of Art in Atami is a must-visit

The regular exhibitions in the museum are a bit boring in my opinion, but the sea view from the mountain is unbeatable. Also, the garden in the mountain is so beautiful that you won't want to leave! 📍Location: 26-2 Momoyama-cho, Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture 🚗Transportation: Since it's on the mountain, the bus takes a long time and the wait is long too. Taking a taxi is the most convenient. 👍️Must-visit spot: The café inside the museum offers a beautiful sea view. 🎟️Ticket price: 1600.00 JPY 💗Other tips: Buses and taxis for going down the mountain are hard to catch, so if you are in a hurry, plan your descent time in advance.

Museum of Art in Atami

#2024wish The MOA Museum of Art is an art gallery in Atami City, Shizuoka. It houses serveral collections, including Japanese and Chinese ceramics, sculpture, calligraphy, textiles, lacquerware, paintings and metalwork. Some of the works are listed as National Treasures or Important Cultural Properties. This is a must-place if you’re into arts. I want to travel to Cambodia in 2024.

MOA Museum of Art

This museum is located on a hilltop and north of Atami. It specializes in East Asian art—primarily Japanese and Chinese ceramics, sculpture, metalwork, calligraphy, paintings, and more. Some of the pieces date back over one thousand years, and there are National Treasures among the collection. One of them is Ogata Korin's masterpiece “Red and White Plum Blossoms,” painted on a pair of two-panel folding screens. In 2024, I want to go back to Atami again. #2024wish

When you come to Atami, you can't miss the MOA Art Museum. In the refurbished hall, the "New Materials Research Institute" created by Sugimoto Boss and Sakamoto Ryuichi uses traditional Japanese materials such as Yakusugi, enamel enamel, and tatami to create a modern display space. The museum is located in a hilly area 250 meters above sea level, and Sagami Beach is in front of you. Walking indoors, looking out the window, as if the sea is also part of the exhibition hall.
