Overview
Ueno Park is a great place to follow the footstep of Japan's Modern Architecture from the end of the 1800s till now. We will start from the National Museum of Western Art, Le Corbusier-designed museum was designated as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site for its modern architectural value in 2016. Tokyo Bunka Kaikan is located just opposite to the Le Corbusier’s museum was designed by Kunio Maekawa, one of the three Japanese apprentices of Le Corbusier. At the graceful Tokyo National Museum complex, you can admire four great architectural works (Hyokei-kan, Hon-kan, Toyo-kan, and Gallery of Horyuji Treasure) which reflect the design of the era between 1908 to 1999. The International Library of Children’s Literature is a hidden gem. Not many people know that you can enjoy Tadao Ando's renovation work in this famous park. Let's see if you can guess which part is his work??
