All Reviews of Karuizawa New Art Museum

“Do you like the world of dots?”
“I really, really do.”

Even my dress happened to match the style of the museum.
Karuizawa is a very relaxing area. You can ride a bike around or park and stroll around.
We stumbled upon this museum by chance. The best itinerary on a trip is having no itinerary at all.
Unexpected detours and activities that weren’t on the itinerary become the most memorable parts of the trip.
“Wow! It matches your dress so well! Quick, quick! Let’s take a picture here.”
“Hahahahaha, okay, definitely!”
The museum’s exhibitions change, and it also has a permanent exhibition.
The first floor is free. The second floor requires a ticket.
The entrance design changes according to the theme inside the museum.
We were very lucky this time to come across my favorite “dots”!
The weather was also very nice.

While strolling along the Old Karuizawa shopping street, it’s hard not to be drawn to the modern larch forest-inspired design and glass building. This museum focuses on Japanese contemporary art and avant-garde works, with spacious exhibition areas and beautiful use of light and shadow. In addition to its wide range of special art exhibitions, the White Birch Chapel designed by Kengo Kuma is a classic work that blends nature with architectural philosophy. When you need a break from walking, you can also enjoy the elegant atmosphere at the on-site café. Highly recommended for travelers who love aesthetics and modern art!

This place mainly showcases outstanding Japanese art from postwar to modern times. 🎨 Definitely worth a visit.
