After leaving Malaysia, it was time to move on so I have landed in Tokyo.
First stop is the Museum of Contemprary Tokyo Art.
The fee for the three museums is 3000 yen ($20)
Sadly, you are not allowed to take photos in most areas of the museum so here are a few.
Below is a list of some of the artists you can find here. You can search online to get an idea of what to expect. This isnt all inclusive, just my favorites.
Tsuruoka Masao
Suzuki Kenni
Abe Gosei
Wada Kanae
Terada Masaaki
Sato Teruo
Katsura Yuki
Bito Yutaka
Tateishi Keichi
Shinohara Ushui
Morimura Yasumasa
Asai Yusuke
Sasanoto – kinetic art

After the Contemporary Museum, I walked over to the nearby Kiyosumi Gardens.
The fee is 150 Yen for the Gardens.
The gardens have long pathways all around the garden.
After the gardens, I headed over to the Sumda Hokusai Museum.
The fee here is 1500 yen and the museum is fairly small and you cant take photos but does feature the early art of Japan.
This is the lone photo you are allowed to take.
And I took this shot whole no one was looking.
Oddly enough, the descriptions of the art is in Japanese and you need a permit to use transaltion apps for some reason!
Aftet two museums and gardens it was off to find some food. I was in the mood for Sushi but couldnt find anything so I settled for Indian food.
It was amazing but better than the food was a fellow American traveler who told me he was leaving the US and moving to India to retire. Seems he doesnt have much hopes for a good life in the US anymore so he is retiring overseas.
After a busy day, headed back to the hotel for a quick stop at the lounge for tea thime then a long soak in the tub and preperation for the next day.
The hotel had an executive lounge and offers an array of beverages and light food in the evening.
