MIHO Museum Ticket with Optional Mobile Hotspot Rental

The approach to the museum was designed by architect I.M. Pei, who is renowned for works such as the glass pyramid at the Louvre in Paris. Visitors travel down a walkway enveloped by cherry trees and pass through a tunnel and over a bridge before arriving at the museum. The design was inspired by the ethereal utopia described in the Taohua Yuan Ji (The Peach Blossom Spring), an ancient Chinese work written by Tao Yuanming. The work tells the tale of a fisherman who roams into a grotto after being drawn in by the fragrant scent of a forest of blossoming peach trees. Emerging from the other side, he finds an idyllic village of inhabitants who all live joyfully, and welcome the fisherman into their homes.

The Miho Museum has been conceived as a real-world version of this village. We hope you will enjoy the harmonious blend of natural beauty, architecture, art and food it provides amid a vibrant backdrop of seasonal colors.

Promoting Beauty, Peace and Joy Through Art

The Miho Museum’s collection started from the wide array of tea ceremony utensils, Shinto/Buddhist art, paintings/calligraphy, ceramics, lacquerware and other Japanese art that was collected sporadically over more than 40 years by the founder, Mihoko Koyama.

The collection eventually grew into a vision for an art museum, aligning with Koyama’s vision of promoting beauty, peace and joy through art. Meeting architect I.M. Pei turned this vision into reality, and the collection expanded to encompass ancient art from around the world.

The collection contains about 3,000 artworks from Japan and the ancient orient, of which 250 to 500 are on display at any given time.
