Time Out says

Gajoen, one of Japan’s most ornate and elaborately decorated hotels, is located in the heart of Tokyo. With lavish restaurants, a Japanese garden featuring a koi-filled pond and frequent exhibitions, it's not uncommon for Hotel Gajoen to be visited by Tokyo art lovers who don’t have plans to stay the night. Ever since its completion in 1931, when Tokyo was recovering from a devastating earthquake, the hotel has been both a beacon of hope and a byword for opulence. 

With so many pieces of 20th century Japanese art on display, it can be a challenge to take it all in at once, so it’s lucky the hotel offers guests free guided tours, allowing you to see the most treasured pieces and learn about them in depth.

What’s on

A Miniature World x Hyakudan Kaidan

Step into a world where reality is reshaped at ‘A Miniature World x Hyakudan Kaidan’, an exhibition that invites you to explore Japan in its tiniest, most intricate forms. Held within the historic Hyakudan Kaidan, a designated tangible cultural property located at Hotel Gajoen Tokyo, the event transforms seven rooms into enchanting realms of meticulously crafted miniatures.  Running until March 9, the exhibition showcases over 1,000 pieces that span a wide array of styles and periods, from Edo-period (1603–1867) dollhouses to contemporary hyper-realistic dioramas. A particular highlight is the Hinamatsuri collection, where Hina dolls and accessories evoke the refinement of Japan’s traditional Girls’ Day festival. In a dimly lit room, shimmering reflections from a still-water display enhance the exquisite details of these diminutive treasures. Going beyond traditional miniatures, the exhibition aims for an immersive experience that plays with perspective, inviting visitors to feel as if they have shrunk and entered a whimsical wonderland. By juxtaposing historical craftsmanship with modern mastery, ‘A Miniature World x Hyakudan Kaidan’ offers an extraordinary glimpse into the artistry of small-scale creations.
