Kawagoe City Art Museum

The Kawagoe City Art Museum features modern galleries with white plaster walls and traditional Japanese roof tiles, designed by Sakakura Associates in 2002.

The museum collection includes systematic acquisitions of artworks by Masaaki Hashimoto, a Kawagoe clan samurai artist from 1835 to 1908, and his disciples.

The facility maintains dedicated exhibition spaces for Japanese paintings, Western-style art, and prints, representing local artists across different artistic movements.

Located near the Kawagoe Museum, the art institution opens from 9:00 to 17:00, with admission fees of 200 yen for adults and 100 yen for students.

The museum incorporates a special Touch Art Corner where visitors with visual impairments can experience art through tactile exploration.
