The Artizon Museum is the reborn Bridgestone Museum of Art, reopened in 2020 in a new Kyobashi tower. It holds the Ishibashi collection of around 3,000 works, from Impressionism to Japanese Western-style painting and postwar abstraction, across three spacious floors.
Insider tip
Tickets are cheaper booked online in advance, and the museum is rarely crowded for the calibre of the Monets and Cezannes inside. It's five minutes on foot from Tokyo Station's Yaesu Central Exit.
