The Tokaido Hiroshige Museum of Art opened in 1994 in Yui Honjin Park, on the site of the old daimyo inn (honjin) of the post-station town of Yui along the Tokaido highway. It is Japan's first art museum named after Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858), the famous Edo period ukiyo-e artist.
Its collection of some 1,400 masterpieces of landscape prints includes the three most significant versions of the Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido series: the Hoeido Edition, the Reisho Tokaido, and the Gyosho Tokaido; as well as One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, which Hiroshige created in his later years.
Exhibits are changed on a monthly basis to ensure visitors can always experience the wonder of ukiyo-e from a fresh perspective. A wide variety of special exhibitions of the Museum’s collections and other works are also held.
Lectures, gallery talks, and other related events are also held frequently.
The Museum has both large and small galleries, as well as the “Basic Knowledge about Ukiyo-e” display and the Guidance Room. The Entrance Hall has been designed to help visitors understand Edo culture based on the key words of “Hiroshige” and “Tokaido,” and features an “Ukiyo-e Experience Corner” where visitors can easily understand how woodblock prints are produced. The Museum Shop also sells products unique to the Museum.

Japan’s first 20th century art museum was established in May 1975 on Ippekiko-keyaki Street, Izu. The site and building of this museum, as well as most of the approximately 1,400 pieces in the museum’s permanent collection, were donated by Eiichi Ikeda, the founder of Nichireki Co., Ltd.

The museum opened in April 1986. The Shizuoka Prefectural Museum of Art was established as part of the 100th anniversary of the Shizuoka Prefectural Assembly. In March 1994, the museum opened a new wing, the Rodin Pavilion, which features 32 sculptures, including Rodin's "Gates of Hell," in a large, brightly lit space. The museum will continue to expand its collection of artwork, exhibitions, workshops, digital content, and other activities with the aim of making new strides in the future.

Sano Art Museum is located in Mishima City, Shizuoka, about an hour from Tokyo by bullet train. The museum, a public interest incorporated foundation, opened in November 1966.

The museum holds about seven exhibitions a year, mainly of Japanese art. A wide variety of themes, including painting, crafts, and photography, are the main attractions. Among them, the Sword Exhibition, held almost every year, attracts many sword fans from all over the country.
The museum has an extensive collection of oriental arts and crafts, and some of them, such as Buddhist statues and swords, are on display in the permanent exhibition room.

On the spacious grounds of the museum, there is a garden called "Ryuusen-en" which is a circular garden with water from the spring of Mt. Fuji that visitors can enjoy all year round.

The Shiseido Art House was established in 1978. Since then, the Shiseido Art House was renovated in 2002 to enhance its function as an art museum, collecting and preserving outstanding modern and contemporary artwork, while also serving as a cultural facility that opens its doors to the public through art exhibitions.

The core of the collection consists of paintings, sculptures, and crafts from the Tsubakikai Art Exhibition and the Contemporary Industrial Arts Exhibition, which were held at the Shiseido Gallery in Ginza, Tokyo, as part of Shiseido's cultural and artistic support activities.

The architecture of the museum was designed by Shinsuke Takamiya and Yoshio Taniguchi and was awarded the "Architectural Institute of Japan Award (Work)" in 1979 (Showa 54), and the building itself has value as art.

Opened in 2010 on the third floor of the Aoi Tower at the north exit of JR Shizuoka Station, the museum's basic philosophy is to "create and disseminate art and culture that inspires people and communities." The museum is a three-minute walk from JR Shizuoka Station and can be reached without getting wet by using the underground passage.

The mainstay of the museum's activities is its year-round special exhibition program. The exhibition rooms are approximately 1,100m² in size, with a ceiling height of 4.1-4.5m, and are designed to display national treasures, important cultural properties, and other nationally designated cultural assets. The main focus is on fine arts, but exhibitions of a wide range of genres such as design and crafts are also held.

In addition, the entrance hall, multipurpose room, and workshop room are positioned as the "Exchange Zone," where various exchange zone programs will be held, including the introduction of the contemporary art scene, concerts, lectures, and workshops. From first-time visitors to avid art fans, and from the elderly to children who will be responsible for the future of art museums, we aim to create an urban art museum that is “a kind of interesting plaza in the city" where anyone can casually stop by.

The museum was founded on November 25, 1973, to house and exhibit the work of Bernard Buffet, a French painter who represented the postwar world of figurative painting. Today, the museum's collection includes over 2,000 works, including oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, prints, illustrated books, and posters, with more than 100 works by Buffet on display at any given time. In addition to a special exhibition of Buffet's works that changes approximately every year, the museum holds special exhibitions of works by various artists and themes as needed. Visitors can also enjoy a café, museum store, and a stroll in the adjacent nature park.

Bernard Buffet (1928-1999) is a painter whose black lines and restrained colors depicted a sense of anxiety and emptiness after World War II that resonated with people around the world. His depictions of people without any pretense were seen as the embodiment of Sartre's existentialism and Camus' idea of absurdity, which greatly influenced the youth of that time, and caused the Buffet whirlwind to take off. He was introduced to Japan early on, and his unique expression of lines has made a strong impression on many people. Now, in addition to longtime Buffet fans, the younger generation, unfamiliar with the "Buffet whirlwind" of that time, is coming into contact with his work and being fascinated by his one-of-a-kind expression.

In October 2009 IZU PHOTO MUSEUM opened as a new addition to the complex. Contemporary artist Hiroshi Sugimoto designed the new addition's interior and gardens.

The new museum will focus on curating exhibitions that delve into the research of historical and social conditions surrounding photography and film, two media that have evolved continually and with great speed since the late nineteenth century. Through our exhibitions, we hope to enrich everyday life through understanding human life and the world of artistic expression.

Vangi Sculpture Garden Museum opened on April 28, 2002, here on the hillside of Mt. Ashitaka, close to Mt. Fuji, This is a unique museum dedicated to a single artist, Italian master sculptor Giuliano Vangi. The museum’s collection comprised works by Vangi dating from the 1960’s up to the present. Some are exhibited in the museum, while others can be viewed in the garden against the backdrop of the surrounding landscape. Visitors can enjoy a walk through the garden where seasonal clematis blooms, visit temporary exhibitions, and take part in cultural events.
