Spring Festival at MOMAT

Picking out some special treats from its plentiful permanent collection to celebrate the onset of spring, the National Museum of Modern Art displays sakura-themed art from March 15 to April 7. You’ll get to see Kawai Gyokudo's folding-screen masterpiece 'Parting Spring' and classics such as Hobun Kikuchi's 'Fine Rain on Mt Yoshino' at this seasonal exhibition. A visit here is best combined with cherry blossom-viewing at the nearby Imperial Palace, the Chidorigafuchi promenade and Kitanomaru Park. Make sure to stop by the museum shop on the first floor to pick up some seasonal stationery decorated with floral motifs.
