A jewel-box museum housing one of Japan’s most refined private collections—set within a contemplative garden on the banks of the Okawa River.
MK Guide Recommends
Tucked into a quiet corner of Miyakojima near the Okawa River, Fujita Museum is a serene showcase of traditional Japanese aesthetics. Founded by Fujita Denzaburo, a Meiji-era industrialist and noted art patron, the museum displays a meticulously curated collection of over 5,000 works—including National Treasures, Important Cultural Properties, tea ceremony utensils, Buddhist art, and classical calligraphy. After a full renovation, the museum reopened with a minimalist, light-filled design by architect Maeda Atsushi, allowing each artifact to breathe. The surrounding garden adds a seasonal rhythm to the visit, particularly in spring and autumn. For travelers seeking depth and stillness over spectacle, Fujita Museum offers a quiet masterclass in Japanese refinement.
