A Blossoming Art Experience
In spring, cherry blossoms beautifully adorn the National Art Center, Tokyo. Inside in the center, visitors can enjoy the captivating sight of the blossoms through the glass façade.
The season can be enjoyed from the time the blossoms make their first appearance, through full bloom to the delightful time when the blossoms drift gracefully to earth.
We hope you will enjoy your time at the center and take the memories of the cherry blossoms with you.

Hide out a secret café
You don’t need to be interested in a specific exhibition to visit the National Art Center, Tokyo. In fact, you don’t even need an exhibition ticket at all. The NACT building is free to enter throughout the day, and facility’s restaurant and cafes can all be reached without having to go through an exhibition hall first.
Next time you can’t find a seat at your go-to Roppongi coffee shop, give the NACT a chance. The experience of kicking back and sipping on a latte or espresso in one of the Center’s cafes is enhanced by the building’s eye-catching architecture—and by the relative silence that makes the NACT the perfect place to take a moment all for yourself.

Sit on a masterpiece
In keeping with the National Art Center, Tokyo’s ethos of being an inviting space that encourages you to linger, the building’s lobby and corridors have plenty of chairs, benches, and sofas for visitors to relax on. What’s more, these aren’t just any old seats—they’re all showpieces of furniture design.
Among the highlights are modernist lounge chairs by the Danish master Hans J. Wegner, and understated black leather benches by fellow Dane Poul Kjærholm. Kjærholm’s comfortable creations line the corridors on the second and third floors, facing the Center’s “Light Wall.”
Even if you aren’t particularly interested in furniture design, trying out the various seats and finding your favorite corner of the Center for a moment of peace and quiet makes for a fun way of exploring the spacious building.

What Happens on Quiet Days?
A Peek Behind the Scenes at Exhibition Preparations
The exhibition space at the National Art Center, Tokyo is one of the largest in Japan. Here, things keep happening quietly and steadily even on days when it is closed to the public.
There are approximately 14,000 square meters of exhibition space across 12 galleries. During the intervals between exhibitions, the galleries are changed around in preparation for what comes next. The placement of walls, the angle of lighting, the distances between works—every element of the space is adjusted to shape the new experience that awaits visitors.
At the heart of this process are the artists. The curators and staff of NACT work with the artists to interpret their vision, not only selecting works, but also bringing together research, historical context, and decisions about how the exhibition will unfold in which spaces, in what order, and how each part will be presented. The gallery as a whole is treated like a book that visitors will read, one that will guide them through a flow of ideas. It’s on the museum’s quiet days that people focus intensely on this process.
One defining aspect of contemporary art exhibitions at the National Art Center, Tokyo is that they are produced in close collaboration with currently active artists. In the Special Exhibition Galleries, artists are present on site, engaging in ongoing discussion about where things should go, how they should look, and how each work relates to the surrounding space. A shift of just a few centimeters in height, the brightness of the light, the movement of the viewer’s gaze: each of these can change how a work is perceived, so the stakes always feel high during the extensive conversations on site.
It’s on these quiet days that as-yet-unseen exhibitions begin to take shape. Behind every completed installation lie countless dialogues held in hushed galleries. Preparations for the next exhibition are always in progress so we can continue to offer visitors surprising, delightful experiences and unexpected encounters with art.

Stroll through an urban forest🌳 #NACTTips
Although the National Art Center, Tokyo is located in bustling Roppongi, its surroundings are replete with greenery. Kisho Kurokawa, the NACT’s architect, intended his creation to appear as if encircled by a forest, and his vision is slowly becoming a reality as more of the nearby land is being turned into green space.🏞️
One noteworthy spot is Aoyama Park, reopened after renovations in February 2023. Located near the NACT’s main entrance, the park combines seamlessly with the plaza in front of the Center. With playground equipment and a grassy hill to run on, it’s a great place to stop by with children before or after a visit to the NACT. 💚
The grove of cherry trees between the park and the Center attracts crowds in spring, when cherry blossoms paint the scene in shades of white and pink. And in fall, visitors may enjoy the seasonal foliage around the building, including along the winding walking path that leads downhill from the main entrance toward Nogizaka Station.✨

The Vivid Colors of Spring Blossoms🌺
At the National Art Center, Tokyo, vibrant azaleas in shades of red, white, and pink burst into bloom as the cherry blossoms begin to fall. Visitors facing the main entrance can enjoy the contrast between the colorful flowers and the fresh green of the budding trees. The Forest Path leading from there to the west gate is like a different world, surrounded by the fresh green of spring growth. Soaking in the changing scenery of the four seasons is one of the pleasures of visiting the museum.

🌊 Bridging Global Access to Japanese Art 📘
The National Art Center, Tokyo is engaged in the “JAC (Japan Art Catalog) Project,” donating Japanese exhibition catalogs—often hard to obtain outside Japan—to international institutions specializing in Japanese art research. Initiated in 1995, even before the NACT’s opening, the project involves donating catalogs from Japanese art museums and other related institutions across Japan to four overseas institutions.
The exhibition catalogs sent overseas are valuable resources for Japanese studies, and information about these materials is now available in the online library catalogs of the four recipient institutions and through the global online union library catalog. In addition to the four institutions, these catalogs are also widely accessed by other institutions through the interlibrary loan (ILL) service.
On the far end of the Art Library on the third floor (on the right side of the shelf), you can find the collection of Japanese art exhibition catalogs that were donated to the NACT by the participating institutions as a return gift. Visitors are encouraged to explore these catalogs, another benefit of this cultural exchange program!

Three Cafés, Three Experiences✨
The National Art Center, Tokyo has three cafés, each named after its unique interior layout and design. Salon de Thé Rond is a circular tea room situated at the top of our inverted cone-shaped atrium, directly in front of the second-floor exhibition rooms. This makes it a perfect place for visitors to experience an extraordinary space while discussing their impressions of one of NACT’s exhibitions or events. 🍰🫖
Café Coquille (the French word for “shell”) is an ideal place to relax, enveloped by the light that ripples like a shell as it streams through the glass curtain wall. This area also takes advantage of our 21-meter-high atrium space. ☕🌿
Adjacent to the basement museum store is our Cafeteria Carré (the French word for “square”). This is a cafeteria-style restaurant where you can enjoy such casual dishes as hashed beef, pasta, soups, etc., just right for a light meal, a quick snack, or dessert. 🍝🍴
We are looking forward to seeing you at one of our three cafés, your selection based on your mood and purpose. 😋

My favorite place by a student intern👩🏻🎓
NACT has not only exhibition galleries, but also cafes & restaurant, museum shops, and an art library.
There are also some masterpiece chairs, and you can take a rest on them.🍵
Today’s special recommendation for you is this space at B1.
I spend time sitting on a chair whose back is so tall that it hides my head, feel relaxed and thinking about the exhibitions.
After relaxing time, I always go to the museum shop, SOUVENIR FROM TOKYO, and buy souvenirs that catch my eyes. 😅
Whether you view the exhibitions or not, everyone can spend time at NACT.
I’d love to hear your favorite place at NACT!👂
