Housing over 100,000 woodblock prints, paintings, screens, and old books, this renowned museum only exhibits a fraction of its staggering collection at any time. The ukiyo-e prints that inspired the Impressionists and shaped Western perceptions of Japan are displayed with quiet reverence in this out-of-the-way location about 3km from the station. It's a pilgrimage for anyone who has ever lingered over a Hokusai wave or Hiroshige snowscape.
