Musée Tomo

Roppongi, Akasaka & Around


One of Tokyo’s most elegant and tasteful museums is named after Kikuchi Tomo, whose collection of contemporary Japanese ceramics wowed them in Washington and London before finally being exhibited at home. Exhibitions change every few months but can be relied on to be atmospheric and beautiful.

The museum's classy French restaurant Voie Lactée overlooks a lovely garden and has a star-studded ceiling.
