Tokugawa Art Museum
# 8   of 9 sights
in Nagoya

During the Edo Period (1600-1868), Nagoya served as the seat of the Owari, one of the three major branches of the ruling Tokugawa family.

The Tokugawa Art Museum preserves and exhibits the belongings of the Owari, who in terms of wealth were surpassed by only four of the nearly 200 feudal domains of the Edo Period. The exhibits include warrior armors, swords, tea utensils, no masks and costumes, poems, scrolls and maps.

The Tokugawaen, a Japanese landscape garden, is located next to the museum. The garden used to be part of a retirement residence of the local lords, but was destroyed during the war. Starting in 2001, the garden was reconstructed as traditional Japanese landscape garden and reopened to the public in 2004.

Tokugawaen

How to get there
The museum is a 10 minute walk from the South Exit of JR Ozone Station, which can be accessed from Nagoya Station by the frequently operating JR Chuo Line (12 min, 190 yen). Alternatively, the museum is a 3 minute walk from Shindeki bus stop.
