Ebara Hatakeyama Museum of Art

Located on a former Satsuma clan estate, the Hatakeyama Memorial Museum displays ancient art pieces in naturally lit rooms through traditional shoji screens.

The museum, founded by industrialist Issei Hatakeyama in 1964, stands on land that belonged to the Shimazu family of Satsuma domain since 1669.

The collection contains 1,300 pieces including six National Treasures and 33 Important Cultural Properties, focusing on tea ceremony implements from Japan, China, and Korea.

The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00, with visitors required to remove shoes and wear provided slippers during their visit.

The museum building incorporates a traditional tea room named Tsukian, where visitors can experience tea ceremonies amid a garden with stone lanterns.
