Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum, located in Minato City, is renowned for its Art Deco architectural style. The structure was originally built in 1933 as a home for Prince Asaka, who, after spending time abroad in France and the United States, requested that it be designed in the popular 1930’s style. Famous French artist Henri Rapin designed the mansion’s interior, and glass designer and jeweler René Lalique created the decorative glasswork in the front entrance hall, as well as the chandeliers.
The building was converted into the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum in 1983 and was designated as an Important Cultural Property in 2015.
Aside from the structure itself, the museum is home to a number of continuously changing exhibitions that feature jewelry, sculptures, fashion, home decor, and contemporary art. In 2014, a cafe, a museum shop, and additional exhibition spaces were added.
The museum’s artistry continues outside with its immaculately landscaped gardens. The grounds contain both Japanese- and Western-style gardens, complete with seasonal flowers, ponds, and sculptures. The area is also home to a teahouse.
When the museum installs a new exhibition, the main building and annex are closed, but the gardens remain open.

There is a restaurant right in front of the Meguro station where you can eat your own fish. All kinds of Japanese dishes and fresh seafood are also served. In some pools inside the restaurant you can catch your own fish with a fishing rod and net and then let the staff know which table it should be brought to. You can watch the fish being prepared in the kitchen and let you know in advance how the fish should be prepared: whether as sashimi, grilled, boiled, deep-fried (with tempura) or as sushi. If you don't manage to catch your own fish, then you can of course order a fish from the menu. However, the price is much lower if you want to have your own catch cooked .

Aventurez-vous dans la rue latérale de Meguro, une rue étroite que tout passant pourrait manquer, et vous trouverez le théâtre national Kita Noh. Demandez à n'importe quel Japonais et il vous répondra probablement que le Nô est difficile à comprendre ou trop démodé, mais vous constaterez également que la plupart n'ont jamais assisté à cette forme d'art traditionnelle. Ce théâtre a été reconstruit en 1955 pour servir de théâtre à l'école Kita-ryu, une prestigieuse école Noh active depuis la période Edo. Auparavant, la scène avait été détruite par le grand tremblement de terre du Kanto de 1923 et détruite une deuxième fois en 1945 lors du grand raid aérien sur Tokyo après sa première reconstruction. Des acteurs et des musiciens hautement qualifiés travaillent ensemble pour recréer les histoires surnaturelles et magiques des drames classiques de Noh. Rempli de fantômes, de démons et de monstres, le Noh est un art théâtral très codifié dépeignant la vie des Japonais entre le XIIème et le XVIème siècle. De magnifiques robes et masques font de cette expérience quelque chose de très spécial. Les pièces traditionnelles répertoriées sont en japonais, mais vous recevrez un résumé détaillé en anglais à lire à l'avance, ainsi que des informations complémentaires sur le Noh, afin que vous puissiez simplement profiter de la représentation.
