    Kokyo Sannomaru Shozokan

    Opened in 1993 within the East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, the Museum of the Imperial Collections, Sannonaru Shozokan, is home to priceless artworks that were previously passed down in the Imperial Family. The museum’s collection spans diverse genres from calligraphy, painting to decorative arts, including many iconic, celebrated works from each period of Japan’s history. After a temporary closure to expand the exhibition spaces, the museum has been partially reopened in November 2023. Discover the new museum and its exhibitions through a private curator-guided tour.

    Ippodo Tea Tokyo Marunouchi

    Ippodo's origins date back three centuries to the year 1717, when Rihei Watanabe established a shop called Omiya to sell tea and ceramics. In 1846, the shop was renamed Ippodo, which literally means “preserve one.” Suggesting “time for tea” works well in all sorts of situations—for a refreshing change of pace, or to just chat or catch up with old friends. It’s a time to rest and unwind while enjoying properly brewed Japanese tea.
