Positives:

  • Stroller accessible: Paths and galleries are generally wide enough for most strollers.
  • Free entry for baby: Children under junior high enter free, so the baby does not need a ticket.
  • Accessible restrooms: Multipurpose restrooms can be used for changing and feeding.

Challenges:

  • No dedicated nursing room: Check ahead if a private feeding area or baby-changing station is available.
  • Uneven garden paths: Some outdoor stones and slopes can make stroller navigation tricky.
  • Quiet exhibition halls: The indoor galleries require low noise; the baby may need a quiet break.

The view from the museum is beautiful🥰 Thankfully the coin lockers here are free of charge, meaning I can enjoy the space without my bags. The exhibition I went to was super interesting, scrolls about a fantastical tragic love story from ancient times. The glass was so clear that I sometimes forget about it, and when you take pictures there's no reflection. The outside Japanese garden is also fun...

Interesting 20th century scroll paintings, ceramics, and basket art. There is a beautiful garden with a teahouse serving Japanese food. There is a shuttle from the train station. Then you go up 7 escalators to reach the museum. There is a colourful ceiling that changes like a kaleidoscope.

Galleries are in two levels, there is a 3rd but as for guest rooms. I had a coffee inside in their cafe. Outside is a Japanese restaurant and a Japanese traditional teahouse. Recommend when in Atami. At the end - make a stop at Crystal Hall, which is an observatio...
