Disrespectful to visitors on 5 December 2023. Permanent exhibition limited to only one small room with replicas. The rest of the museum is in preparation for the special exhibition Hokusai & Samurai starting 14 December 2023. I planned my trip to this museum. Consulting their official website beforehand, including the plan your visit part. Nowhere is there mention of the almost complete closure of the museum. Only upon arrival when buying your ticket do they inform you that only one small room with replicas is open. Since already there you expect the better of it. Within 30 minutes including a visit to the shop you are outside. What a shame not informing your visitors very clear on your website beforehand.

To be fair I expected a bit more from this museum. I love Japanese woodblock prints and I saw better exhibitions outside of Japan. Much of the exhibited prints are copies and museum is quite small. Nevertheless, it is interesting to visit. It would not be on the top on my list, but if you have more time- why not to see famous nikishi-e of Hokusai.

Visited here while on summer vacation in Tokyo and looking forward to seeing more Hokusai works on display. The museum is a short 10 min walk from the subway station and the architecture is distinctive. Main gallery is on 3rd/4th floor. Relatively small but very informative. Photography is not allowed. Well worth a visit.

This is the heaven for Hokusai fans. The museum is situated in modern designed building which has 5 floors including basement. There is a playground infront of the museum. The entry fee is 400Yen. Normally visitors can enjoy two exhibition floors 3rd and 4th but due to the preparation for upcoming exhibition- only 4th floor is open. The paintings in the museum are replicas of the original. There are touch screens which tell you the stories behind the paintings ( you can choose the languages- English / Chinese etc). Photos are allowed without flashes ( as per receptionist from the ticket counter). They have small gift shop near the entrance opposite to the ticket counter. It took me around 45 minutes to 1 hour to look through and taking pictures. The museum may not be for everyone but if you are Hokusai fans- this is must place to visit in Tokyo.

(Translated by Google) A short walk from the stations in both countries. It's a small museum, but it's pretty good. At the permanent exhibition, you can understand Hokusai well. A museum rather than a museum? Is more like ... You can learn a lot with the touch panel. You can play. There is a full-scale wax figure for Hokusai, and I'm afraid that it will move a little occasionally! You can see the fun of Hokusai. He was a really amazing person. A museum that you can enjoy slowly. There was a park next to it and many children were playing. Good, Sumida Ward. It may be a little difficult now that you can only move by elevator. (Now there are only two people in the elevator. To prevent crowding) It was a pity that I couldn't enter the library. I was able to use the JAF discount. Special exhibition 1200 yen → 960 yen (with a good deal) Permanent exhibition 400 yen → 320 yen Then put it in. It is a stub of the admission ticket, and it seems that there are other services as well. (Original) 両国の駅からはちょっと歩く。 こじんまりとした美術館だけど、なかなかよい。 常設展では、北斎のことがよくわかる。 美術館というより、博物館？の方がピンとくるような‥ タッチパネルで、色々学べる。遊べる。 北斎と応為の実物大の蝋人形があって、たまに微妙に少し動くのが怖い! 北斎の面白さがよくわかる。本当にすごい人だったんだね。 ゆっくり楽しめる美術館。 横に公園があって大勢の子ども達が遊んでいた。いいなぁ、墨田区。 エレベーターでしか移動できないのがちょっと今は難点かも。 （今はエレベーターに2人ずつしかのれない。密を防ぐ為） 図書館に入れないのも残念だった。 JAF割引使えました。 企画展1200円→960円（お得感あり） 常設展400円→320円 で、入れます。 入場券の半券で、他でのサービスもあるようです。

We visited the museum on a cold Wednesday afternoon in early January. We bought the combined ticket to everything and I recommend you do this. The artwork is very accessible, they have and English translation avaliable if need, we didn't use it. The rules about photography could be clearer it said photography without flash was ok but some items had no photography signs by them, as slightly older people without glasses in a dim room we did not see the sign opps. The staff were gracious and welcoming. I recommend you reserve at least 2 hours minimum for this museum, if you like art. It is small but packed with information. The interactive displays were engaging and I should have spent more time on these. The exhibition descriptions in English are good and thought provoking. The shop is tiny, and quite pricey. They do have some affordable gifts / mementos to buy. Given the space they had on the museum it was a magnificent experience.

(Translated by Google) I always look at it from the Sobu Line... Modern building, more on the JR side Appeal if anything stands out I can... (Original) 何時も総武線から眺めていますが… 近代的な建物で、ＪＲ側にもっと 目立つものが有ればアピール 出来るのに…

(Translated by Google) In the permanent exhibition, a reproduction of Katsushika Hokusai's work is on display. The space is not so large and the explanation is simple, so if you want to know about Hokusai easily, the permanent exhibition of 400 yen is just right. However, since they are all replicas, it may be better to call them museums rather than museums. The explanation on the touch panel seems to be on sale, but I was worried that there was no disinfectant. It is difficult to walk a little from Ryogoku station, but I think it is a good facility as a whole. The shop was also substantial. (Original) 常設展では葛飾北斎の作品の複製が展示してあります。スペースはさほど広くなく説明も簡潔なので、北斎のことを簡単に知りたい場合は400円の常設展がちょうどいいと思います。ただ、すべてレプリカとのことなので、美術館というより資料館と呼んだ方がいいかも知れません。タッチパネルによる解説が売りのようですが消毒液が無いのが気になりました。両国駅から少し歩くのも難点ですが、総じて良い施設だと思います。ショップも充実していました。

An incredible building with one of my all-time favorite art pieces inside. The overall exhibition was a little disappointing but seeing Hokusai’s Great Wave made it all worth it. A must🙏🏼

Excellent exhibition with good English descriptions for the usual exhibits. Don't forget to visit the library as well. Very friendly English speaking staff at the library who could help you photocopy photos you like for a nominal fee - a much cheaper alternative than buying colour prints.

The museum isn’t very big, so don’t expect too much from it. However, the expositions and materials are interesting and exhibited in an historical, explanatory way. Two tips: buy the permanent + seasonal exhibitions ticket. It’s only additional 100 yen and you’ll get to see almost the double (the permanent exhibition isn’t big at all). Also, they give you 20% off if you go on your birthday’s month, which is cool too.

Great museum worth the entry fee. Definitely note the two different fees it's about 1000 yen for the full exhibit and 400 yen for the permanent exhibit. It's a good 1hrs worth of time at a casual pace reading through the details. You can speed through too if you want. See if you can catch Hokusai move in the exhibit They have a gift shop that shows alot of his work. It can get a little expensive but some of the materials can be a nice gift for any fan of the art.

There was no queue for buying ticket (maybe because Japan has just opened to tourists) and the museum, in the era of covid was well equipped for visitors. Great exhibition of Hokusai's work and life. Definitely worth it for those who enjoy his genre of art or just Japanese art in general. Ninety minutes is enough to spend there and you can also see Skytree through one of the windows.

Really loved the museum! Great temporary exhibition with some cool artwork. The permanent exhibition was marvelous. The souvenir shop was could have used like some cheap posters that you could roll up and take with you. Overall a great experience!

A really interesting exhibition all about Hokusai's history as an artist. The entry for the museum is 700 yen for the permanent exhibit or 1000 which includes the temporary exhibit as well. Interestingly you get a discount if it's your birthday month! The exhibits are across two floors and I spent about 2 hours looking across everything. The exhibitions were very interactive with touch screens, videos and even games and opportunities to draw on some of the tablets in Hokusai's style. It was a great balance of technology with the history of Hokusai's art I learnt a lot about not only his wood block art but also his sketches and other art works which I hadn't heard of before as well as a comprehensive overview of his influence in Japan, where he'd lived, his family life and his life alongside the art. Overall, well worth a visit for the price and you can easily spend 2-3 hours here going around and exploring. I went at about 3pm and it wasn't too busy. Some of the rooms were a bit light on English translations but this didn't detract from the experience - highly recommend if you're a fan of any of Hokusai's work!

I am a big fan of Hokusai art. The is only one section of the area you can take photo and only the art has photo ok logo, there are art that have a icon no photo is allow. If you are not sure best to ask the staff. Love it story and the art!

(Translated by Google) The special exhibition "Oedo Saijiki" was impressive. The regular exhibition was only visible on the internet. (Original) 企画展「大江戸歳事記」は見ごたえありました。常時展示は、ネットでも見ることのできる程度でした。

(Translated by Google) Not to mention those who like Ukiyo-e, I think that even those who are not interested can understand the splendor of Hokusai a little if they come here. It's fun just to see how the picture changes with age. (Original) 浮世絵が好きな方はもちろんですが、興味ない方でもここに来れば少なからず北斎の素晴らしさを分かる事が出来ると思います。年齢ごとの絵の変化とか見てるだけで楽しいですよ。

An amazing museum dedicated to one of the greatest Japanese artist. The building itself is an architectural masterpiece. Powerful yet simple.

Excellent museum and a beautiful building. I leaned a lot about this important Japanese artist in the permanent exhibition. Nursing mothers take note: there are two private nursing rooms in the basement. It is a 15 minute walk from the subway.

Came to see arts of Hokusai. Was not disappointed even if a lot of the art weren't present, or were replicas. Main positive was that there was lot of English notes and English interactive displays. There's also a replica of a room with life-like statues of Hokusai and his daughter Oi.

(Translated by Google) I visited for the first time because I was attracted to an interesting exhibition. I was surprised at the modern building. It was a small and dense exhibition. I enjoyed it very easily. The Sky Tree looked beautiful. (Original) 興味深い展示に惹かれて初めて訪ねてみました。 近代的な建物にびっくり。狭いかなに密度濃い展示でした。とてもわかりやすく楽しめました。スカイツリーがキレイに見えました。

This museum made me feel like going to the places of Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji someday. (Apr. 2022)

If you’re a Hokusai lover, this museum is just for you! Prepare your wallet for the gift shop.

The museum is small, but brand new. You can consider it for a quick visit during a tour of the Asakusa area. The museum collection is thoroughly described in English through panels and interactive screens, which is pleasant and surprising since most exhibits here in Japan don't have any kind of explanation (be it in Japanese or in other languages). The main room is very dimly lighted, but I suppose this is to preserve the artworks. I really enjoyed the exhibit of a contemporary artist who parodied Hokusai, but I wasn't expecting it to take up so much space compared to the actual size of the collection.

Beautiful museum, beautiful building. The museum walks you through Hokusai’s life and different art projects. Each display centers on a period of Hokusai’s life (70-95 years-old, for example) and gives info on the art style used during that time and different influences, including schools of art, groups of artists. Each area is accompanied by electronic displays you can look through different prints and zoom in using hand gestures. The museum is rather small, so don’t expect much volume. Take your time and go through things slowly and you’ll have a good experience.

Small museum but items well displayed, nice small shop and unusually building design which provides some views of Sky Tree. Interior of building light and airy which also provides a calm atmosphere. Only giving this 4/5 stars because price felt a little high given the size and number of items on display. Other than that feel it is well worth a visit and an easy walk from Ryogoku Station

Like others have mentioned it’s not a big museum but you would def have more than enough to see if you go through everything of their permanent exhibit in details and use the interactive touch panel. Main piece at the current special exhibit is a replica but I think it’s still a good exhibit with the interesting story behind it.

Sumida Hokusai Museum isn't in my itinerary plan, but when I stroll around Sumida, the museum had its special exhibition. Then I decided to visit. I bought two tickets for permanent and special exhibition for 1000 Yen. If you want to visit the permanent exhibition only, you only pay 600 Yen. You can't take a photo or video or even sketch the painting in the special exhibition. But, you can take a photo in the permanent exhibition area. Check out the merchandise shop too! You definitely want to buy all of the merch. Trust me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The Architecture is stunning and interior is also related that the visitors can enjoy the exhibition without interuption from the public playground outside. The exhibition itself is also interesting that it shows how the printed-picture is from the original. You can also available to see the other sketches and Sumida's artwork.

If you’re a fan of Katsushika Hokusai in particular or Ukiyoe art form generally, you will absolutely cherish your time inside this relatively new museum of art. This museum first opened in Tokyo’s Sumida District in November 2016, so the both building and the surrounding facilities are in spectacular condition. As Hokusai was both born and raised in Sumida-ku, there’s a tremendous level of local pride in his celebrity. You fell that sense of pride in the dedication of the museum staff, who seem to derive a great deal of pleasure introducing you to the works of their local hero. The museum can get pretty crowded in the afternoons, so I recommend visiting in the morning, perhaps before enjoying a river cruise from the nearby terminal.

No photos allowed in the museum and most of the works here are high resolution replicas which was a bit disappointing but still a great visit. I learned a lot about the different styles of Hokusai. Only 2 floors of art ranging in majority small to medium size pieces for the current exhibition. The gift shop has a lot of beautiful souvenirs that makes the visit alone worth it.

Super cool museum about Hokusai! It was free for us since we had a grutto pass! Highly recommend if you want to learn about how Hokusai made his art!

(Translated by Google) The scale was small, but he didn't seem to fully understand the awesomeness of Katsushika Hokusai. (Original) 規模は小さいが葛飾北斎の素晴らしさを十分理解させてもらえるないようであった　気にいってTシャツを２枚も買ってしまった

葛飾北斎の浮世絵を堪能できます。 じっくりと鑑賞でき、有意義な時間を過ごせました。 浮世絵とコラボした限定商品なんかもありました！

(Translated by Google) It was clean and had good measures against corona. (Original) 清潔でコロナ対策もしっかりされていました。

(Translated by Google) It's a very difficult place to evaluate... I think it is a wonderful exhibit. At the permanent exhibitions, I try to keep my tired passages organized by keeping a tempo summary of my lifelong route. Also, although it is a duplicate, I never expected that I could read Hokusai Manga from Volume 1 to Volume 15. Unfortunately the structure of the building isn't it? A small elevator is the main movement on the floor. The lobby on each floor is also small, and there are few chairs that can be used for breaks, including the exhibition room. In the first place, do you anticipate that the number of users will not increase so much... (Original) 評価がとても難しいところですね…… 展示品としては素晴らしいと思います。常設展では生涯の経路をテンポよくまとめており、飽きさせないようにしています。また、複製ですが、北斎漫画を1〜15巻までを手に取って読めるとは思ってもいませんでした。 残念なところは建物の構造ですね。 階の移動は小さなエレベーターがメイン。各階のロビーも狭く、展示室内含めて休憩に利用できるイスが少ないです。 そもそも、利用者があまり多くならないと見込んでいるのでしょうか…

(Translated by Google) I like Ukiyo-e. I love Katsushika Hokusai. The building is SANAA Kazuyo Sejima, and in front of me is a simple park. The scale is just right. Just looking at the museum shop is fun. (Original) 浮世絵好き。葛飾北斎大好き。 建物はSANAA 妹島和世さんだし、目の前はのほほんとした公園ていう立地だし。規模感もちょうどいい。 ミュージアムショップを覗くだけでも楽しいです。

(Translated by Google) It is a museum that I didn't want to visit anymore. The building looks good, and maybe the rating had changed if this facility wasn't a museum. Is it designed by a person who has never visited the museum, such as the location of the toilet and the exhibition method, because of the difficulty in the flow line? There are some inconveniences. The hospitality of the staff was also the lowest level of any museum I have ever visited. This museum is not recommended for those who have visited various museums. (Original) 初めてもう行きたくないと感じた美術館です。 建物の見た目は良いですし、もしかするとこの施設が美術館で無ければ評価は変わっていたかもしれません。 動線に難があり、トイレの場所や展示方法等、美術館に訪れたことの無い人が設計しているのでは？と思わせる不便さが散見されます。 スタッフさんのホスピタリティも今まで訪れた美術館の中で最低レベルでした。 色々な美術館に行ったことのある人に程オススメできない美術館です。

Really well designed museum. Great architecture by itself, photographic everywhere. The Hokusai introduction is very comprehensive, easy to understand, and incorporates a lot of modern photos of where he lived and what is happening in the world and in Japan that may have influenced his work. It is extremely interesting for beginners into the Hokusai world. The basic zone entry is only 400yen and with special exhibition (his more rare work) is 1200yen. For first-timer just basic ticket is plenty to see for about 1.5-2.0 hours. Photos allowed except for those explicitly marked otherwise.

SANNA project:Metal panels, precise divisions and framing triangles.

The Hokusai Museum is of course a must visit if you’re a fan of the legendary Hokusai. While there are some inspirational works of art I hadn’t seen elsewhere, I was disappointed that the information for the art on display lacked some of the fantastic backstory behind the different works of art. Still, if you love Hokusai’s works you really should pay this museum a visit.

(Translated by Google) An art museum in Sumida Ward. Although it is not large, it exhibits Hokusai's works, ukiyo-e prints, and related items. Although it is right next to the park, the inside is quiet and you can enjoy it calmly. About 10 minutes walk from the east exit of Ryogoku station. (Original) 墨田区にある美術館。大きくはないが、北斎の作品をはじめ浮世絵、もしくはそれに関わるものを展示している。公園のすぐ横ながらも中は静かで落ち着いて鑑賞できる。両国駅東口から徒歩10分程度。

(Translated by Google) It is called a museum where the works of Katsushika Hokusai are exhibited, but it is closer to the standing position of a museum that follows the trajectory of the person and style of "Katsushika Hokusai". You may be disappointed when you imagine a gorgeous museum where the works of Katsushika Hokusai are gathered together. All of the ukiyo-e on display are duplicates, and most of the works can be photographed (for personal enjoyment) (however, the use of the flash function is prohibited). The explanations for each exhibition are always written in English, so foreign tourists can enjoy it. Since the elevator is the only way to get to and from the exhibition room, even people with disabilities can enjoy it. The room of the permanent exhibition is not so large, and you can go around in about 30 minutes. If it's only a permanent exhibition, it costs 400 yen, but it may feel a little unsatisfactory. If you want to know more about Ukiyo-e and Katsushika Hokusai, you should use it when a special exhibition is being held. Although it is called an art museum that displays works by Katsushika Hokusai, it is more like a historical museum that traces the history of the man and his style. You may be disappointed if you imagine that it is a gorgeous museum where all the works of Katsushika Hokusai are gathered in one place. All of the Ukiyo-e works on display are reproductions, and with the exception of a few, most of them can be photographed (within the scope of personal enjoyment), although the use of flash is prohibited. written in English, so foreign visitors can also enjoy them. The elevator is the only way to get up and down to the exhibition rooms, so people with disabilities can also enjoy the museum. The rooms of the permanent collection are not very large and can be visited in about 30 minutes. If you only want to visit the permanent exhibition, you can pay only 400 yen, but you may feel a little short. If you want to learn more about Ukiyo-e and Katsushika Hokusai, it would be better to visit the museum when the special exhibition is held. (Original) 葛飾北斎の作品が展示されている美術館と銘打っているが、どちらかというと『葛飾北斎』という人物や作風の軌跡を追った資料館という立ち位置の方が近い。葛飾北斎の作品が一堂に集められた絢爛豪華な美術館を想像すると、落胆してしまうかもしれない。 展示されている浮世絵は全て複製で、一部を除きほとんどの作品が（個人で楽しむ範疇で）撮影可能である（但しフラッシュ機能の使用は禁止）。各展示の説明には必ず英語が併記されているため、外国人観光客にも楽しめる。展示室への昇降はエレベーターのみであるため、障碍を持つ人でも楽しむことが出来る。 常設展の部屋はそれほど広くは無く、30分程度で回れる。常設展のみであれば400円で済むが、少し物足りなく感じるかもしれない。より浮世絵や葛飾北斎のことを知ったり楽しんだりするのであれば、企画展が開催されている時に利用するといいだろう。 Although it is called an art museum that displays works by Katsushika Hokusai, it is more like a historical museum that traces the history of the man and his style.

Great place to learn about Katsushika Hokusai and the history of nishiki-e and ukiyo-e. Tokyo Skytree can be viewed from the upper floors.

A place for Hokusai FC, the museum is located at Sumida City, closed to Ryogoku Station. The building of the museum looks modern with some storytelling. They features permanent exhibition, that you can learn about the life and work of Hokusai, and the the special exhibition, which was under the bird theme during the time of our arrival. The collections are quite limited, and most of them are replicas ( probably all of them). It is not allowed to take pictures in the exhibition areas. By the way, there is a museum shop that you can buy a real handcraft woodblock prints, which serves as an impressive souvenir.

Great museum! The entry is cheap and the explanations of the exhibition are great, and most importantly, available in english, which hasm't been the case in other many museums. There was an AR explanation of some of the hokusai artworks that was great.

A great architectural building. With odds angle and layout. Didn't go into the exhibits, but just the ground floor. One of the finer techno architecture and very clean design.

I don't like that they're shady with the prices. After consulting the website I expected to pay 400 Yen, however that only would've given me access to one room of 4(?). Of course I wanted to see the whole exhibition so I ended up paying 900 Yen (with student discount). I found the lighting in the rooms too dark and the decoration half-hearted, since there were many posters with information attached with sticky tape. Nevertheless the architecture of the building is great and it's still Hokusai so three stars.

A very nice art Museum with historical linage to Japan's rich illustratious history... Knowing that it was the house of creator of history's one of the famous painting i.e. Popularly known as "The Japanese Waves" was a nice feeling.

400yen for access to the permanent exhibit, housed in one room. Everything else is extra in Special Exhibitions. You probably need to consider this place for a quick stop on a visit to Tokyo, so worth a visit, but you'll learn more online than you likely will here.

A must see if you like Japanese art, specially Hokusai's. Easy to get by metro and reasonable price

The museum building itself is lovely. Inside the exhibits are on the two upper floors. You could rush through it in an hour, taking a look at Hokusai's more significant works, but if you're interested in Hokusai I'd recommend about 2 hours.

Amazing exhibition! Most of the items have English explanation. Worth every penny.

A bit small but ok. Great collection of Hokusai's painting

(Translated by Google) I visited twice. You can learn about Ukiyo-e, including the manufacturing process of Ukiyo-e and the life of Hokusai at that time. However, the exhibition room is a little small, and is at the level of the local museum. You'll probably be able to see it in 1 to 2 hours while you're at the nearby Edo Tokyo Museum (though it may take more than a day to see Edo Hiroshi...). We would like the inhabitants of the city to discount the special exhibition. (Original) 二回ほど訪問しました。浮世絵の製造工程や、当時の北斎の暮らしぶりも含めて浮世絵を学べます。ただ展示室はやや小ぶりで、郷土資料館のレベルです。近隣の江戸東京博物館に行ったついでに、1〜2時間で見れてしまうと思います（もっとも、江戸博を見るのに一日以上かかるかもしれませんが…）。企画展は区民は割引してほしいです。

(Translated by Google) The building is original and the exhibits are wonderful. (Original) 建物も独創的、展示も素晴らしいです。

(Translated by Google) Katsushika Hokusai is an ukiyo-e print. Born and raised in Sumida Ward, he spent almost 90 years there. It was interesting that the process and changes in the works were exhibited in a digest. Ukiyo = Sekai, an everyday life, so every scene is a subject, and the scene is vividly depicted. Existence that had a great influence on overseas artists. I felt great again. He gave me potato chips that he made in collaboration with Calbee at the service♪ (Original) 葛飾北斎と言えば浮世絵。 墨田区に生まれ育、ほぼ90年の一生をそこで過ごしたそうです。 その過程と作品の変遷がダイジェストで展示されていておもしろかったです。 浮き世＝俗世、日常を描いたものだから、ありとあらゆる場面が被写体となり、当時をいきいきと描写しています。 海外の芸術家たちにも大いなる影響を与えた存在。改めて偉大さを感じました。 サービスでカルビーとコラボして作ったというポテトチップスをくれました♪

(Translated by Google) The display is good. Buildings are also interesting as "architecture." However, as a "museum", the flow line is definitely not good.

(Translated by Google) .... a nice museum located in a beautiful structure of modern architecture. Worth a visit !!! Recommended!!!! (Original) ....un bel museo ubicato in una bellissima struttura di architettura moderna. Merita una visita!!! Consigliato!!!!

(Translated by Google) Let's go buy the local ramen "Hokusai ramen" where the kelp soy sauce of Akita prefecture is delicious (Original) 秋田県の昆布醤油が美味しいご当地ラーメン『北斎ラーメン』買いに行こう

Really exciting to see Hokusai’s work here

(Translated by Google) It's a bit expensive, especially since in the permanent exhibition they are reproductions. The exhibition is more oriented for enlightened people. It lacked simplicity. That said, the building is very surprising and its architecture is remarkable. (Original) C'est un peu cher, d'autant que dans l'exposition permanente ce sont des reproductions. L'exposition est plus orientée pour des personnes éclairées. Cela manquait de simplicité. Ceci dit le bâtiment est très étonnant et son achitecture est remarquable.

I have only seen the permanent exhibition. I found it sober, well documented and well presented. A detailed explanation in both Japanese and English accompanied each exhibit. There were a few interactive exhibits that helped me engage more actively with the art. We were informed that other momentary exhibitions are usually available - for a separate fee. I found the building a nice piece of architecture too.

It's easy to go there from subway station, it takes just around 5 minutes. You may be surprised that the building is so small in contrast to Hokusai's big name. It's bit difficult to find its entrance because the building shape and design is disgusting. You can enjoy Hokusai's master pieces as much as you want. They have a small but nice souvenir shop on the ground level. You can see and buy various types of books which are written in Japanese or English, stationary goods, post cards, and many other attractive stuff without buying entrance ticket. There is no cafeteria in the museum. If you want to have a break while you see master pieces of Hokusai, you can ask staff that you are going to have a coffee outside. Don't forget to ask where are good restaurants near the museum. It may be difficult to find proper place around there.

(Translated by Google) Although it is a small museum, the Hokusai collection is stunning. (Original) こじんまりとした美術館ですが、北斎のコレクションには目を見張ります。

売店の店員が不親切。入場料が高い。

北斎の繊細なタッチが鑑賞できます。 未だに色褪せない顔料の凄さに感動します。

常設展がタッチパネルを多用してるので、気にする人は気をつけて

(Translated by Google) Special exhibition 💯‼ ️ It is a museum full of cleanliness. (Original) 企画展💯‼️ 清潔感いっぱいの美術館です。

(Translated by Google) It was a short walk from the station. There is a free coin locker in the basement, so you can easily look around. It's an exhibition, but when I went there, the special exhibition was good. However, it is a little disappointing that the permanent exhibition was a way of exhibition that I did not know whether it was a replica or a real one. (Original) 駅からは少し歩くところにありました。 地下には無料のコインロッカーがあって、身軽に見て回ることができます。 展示ですが、私が行ったときは特別展示が良かったです。 ただ、常設展示はレプリカなのか本物なのか分からない展示の仕方だったのが少し残念です。

(Translated by Google) I went to see the brush soul exhibition. Ukiyo-e had the image of a print, but the handwriting was beautiful and powerful. (Original) 筆魂展を観に行きました。浮世絵って版画というイメージでしたが、肉筆はきれいで迫力ありました。

(Translated by Google) This is my first time to come, so I came because I like Hokusai's works. (Original) 初めて来る場所なので、北斎の作品が好きだから来ました。

(Translated by Google) If you try to use the discount at the Edo-Tokyo Museum, you will only have a permanent exhibition. (Original) 江戸東京博物館の割引を使おうとすると常設展のみになります。

(Translated by Google) Immediately after opening, I went for a walk. The appearance of the building is very beautiful. (Original) オープンしてすぐに、散歩がてら行きました。 建物の外観がとても美しいです。

(Translated by Google) I don't know if Ukiyo-e is like that, but only small paintings. After seeing the Momoyama exhibition in Ueno, you may think so, but if you pay 1200 yen for the special exhibition, I would like to go to a temple in Kyoto that costs about 700 yen. (Original) 浮世絵ってそうなのか知らないけど、小さい絵ばかり。上野で桃山展見たあとだから余計そう思うのかもしれないけど、これで企画展1200円払うなら700円くらいで入れる京都の寺をはしごしたい。

(Translated by Google) In addition to the bad flow, it is troublesome to ask for tickets on each floor! Could you devise a little more? (Original) 動線の悪さに加えて、各フロアでチケット求められるのが面倒です！ もう少し工夫してもらえませんか？

(Translated by Google) The history of Sumida Ward and Taito Ward is also known. (Original) 墨田区、台東区の歴史も知れる。

(Translated by Google) I was interested in Hokusai so I enjoyed it enough. I want a chair to rest in the exhibition room. (Original) 北斎に興味があったので十分楽しめました。展示室に休憩する椅子が欲しいです。

(Translated by Google) I went suddenly, but it was good. Speaking of difficulty, there is a problem with how to deal with the reception. Say it's cheap for people over 65 (Original) 唐突に行ったけど良かったです。難といえば受付の対処方法に問題。６５歳以上は安いと言ってよ

(Translated by Google) It was good to see both the special exhibition and the permanent exhibition. I also enjoyed the touch panel quiz! (Original) 特設展と常設展どちらも見応えあって良かったです。タッチパネルのクイズもあって楽しめました！

(Translated by Google) Among the ukiyo-e artists, he has an outstanding inquisitiveness and drawing ability. Hokusai has influenced artists around the world, such as Van Gogh. I will come here if I want to meet him who I love. (Original) 浮世絵師の中でも、卓越した探求心と画力。ゴッホ等、世界の芸術家にも影響を及ぼした北斎。大好きな彼に会いたくなったらここへ来ます。

(Translated by Google) I admire the Japanese culture. (Original) 日本の庶民文化に感嘆します。

(Translated by Google) It was known that Hokusai's painting was the originator of manga. I thought I'd go to see the 36 views of Tomitake, and it wasn't enough because not all of them were displayed. (Original) 北斎の絵はマンガの元祖だったんだと知れた。富岳36景を見に行こうと思い、全部が飾ってあるわけではなかったので物足りない。

(Translated by Google) I visited only the permanent exhibition, but as others have written, it is very small, and the permanent exhibition alone finishes in a blink of an eye. Personally, I was more interested in buildings. (Original) 常設展のみ見学しましたが、他の方も書いているように、とても狭く、常設展のみでは、あっという間に見終わります。 個人的には建造物の方が興味か湧きました。

(Translated by Google) At the end of the permanent exhibition, Hokusai's last work is worth seeing. I felt the noble spirit of the old painter. (Original) 常設展示の最後、北斎の遺作は観る価値あります。画狂老人の高雅な気概を感じました。

(Translated by Google) You can see quite a lot about Hokusai (Original) 北斎についてかなり詳しく見れる

(Translated by Google) It is a pity that there are few types of permanent exhibits (Original) 常設展示は少し種類が少なく残念

(Translated by Google) I visited on weekdays, but it was rude but more crowded than I had imagined. A space where you can slowly learn about the history of Katsushika Hokusai The exhibition method has also been devised, and I think that even people who get tired of ordinary museums can enjoy it. Corona measures are also taken firmly, such as setting a limit on the number of people when getting on the elevator. (Original) 平日に訪問したが、失礼ながら想像よりも混雑していた。 葛飾北斎の歴史をゆっくりと学べる空間 展示方法も工夫されており、通常の美術館は飽きてしまう人でも楽しめるかと思います。 エレベーターに乗るさいも人数制限を設けるなどコロナ対策もしっかりされております。

(Translated by Google) The building was modern and small, but it was a fulfilling museum. I thought that there were many interesting exhibits because of the history. (Original) 建物は近代的で狭いですが充実した美術館でした。 歴史がわかり展示も興味深いものが多かったと思いました。

(Translated by Google) After all, Hokusai is good! Especially, "Thirty-six Views of Tomitake, The Great Wave off Kanagawa" is the best! (Original) やはり、北斎は良いね！特に『冨嶽三十六景 神奈川沖浪裏』は最高です！

(Translated by Google) It ’s very beautiful and it ’s wonderful. (Original) とても綺麗な作りで素晴らしいですよ

Ever heard of "The Great Wave"? If not, you've definitely seen it. Well, you can see the original print here as well as the other 30+ views of Mt. Fuji and other works from Hokusai. Equivalent to photographs of old Japan before the camera. Very interesting.

(Translated by Google) The best. I thought it was closed due to the corona disaster, but it was okay. Is it a wax figure? ⁉️ I can see Hokusai writing with his waist in a kotatsu. (Original) 最高。コロナ禍の為に、休館されてると思ったけれど、大丈夫でした。蝋人形ですか⁉️北斎が腰の方を炬燵に入れ書いている様子がうかがえました。

(Translated by Google) It is a compact but condensed museum. The near-future production is also unique. (Original) コンパクトながら、凝縮された感のある美術館です。近未来的な演出もユニーク。

(Translated by Google) You can learn about the history of manga and expressions from the Edo period to the middle of the Showa period, such as Hokusai Manga, Punch, and Norakuro. I remembered the history learning manga and Sazae-san that I read when I was a kid. (Original) 北斎漫画やポンチ、のらくろなど、江戸時代から昭和半ばまでの漫画や表現の歴史を知ることが出来ます。 子供の頃に読んだ、歴史学習マンガやサザエさんのことを思い出しました。

(Translated by Google) Is there a little more exhibit? What? I felt disappointed. (Original) もう少し展示物がないのかな？って。残念な感じがしました。

Good interactive material in multiple languages. Deep selection of work. Gift shop had nice books and trinkets.

I just did the permanent exhibition and it wasn't very worth it. 300¥ for maybe 15 paintings. At least we can see a good reproduction of the wave. I would recommend taking a combined ticket with the temporary exhibition.

The traditional replica art is nice , but the place is a little small. Theres 3 exhibitions/rooms , *1000 円 to see all (permanent exhibition + extended exhibition + special exhibition. * 700円 to see (permanent exhibition + extended exhibition) *400円 to see (permanent exhibitions) A person can spend about 15 minutes - 30 minutes.

Lovely museum that features spectacular special exhibitions regularly (the special exhibitions usually cost extra and don't allow photos fyi). Most of the regular exhibition allows photos but no flash photography, some of the wall scrolls don't allow photos. Lots of beautiful ukiyo-e is featured here including The Great Wave off Kanagawa and Fuji on a Clear Day. There's an interactive part with some fun games, and an animatronic display of Hokusai in his home. The gift shop is awesome too.

Nice museum of Hokusai in Ryogoku, about a 5 to 8min walk from the train station. It's a little ways out from touristy parts of Tokyo so may not be on everyone's radar. If you're into art and Japanese culture, this is a must-see. They'll have a special exhibit that changes from time to time and a permanent exhibit showcasing his work and the work from his students. 1,000 JPY to see all exhibits. Small museum but interesting. The gift shop is pretty good too where they sell prints using the same authentic processes that he created and range from 14,000 to 30,000.

The regular exhibition is on the 4th floor. It shows Sumida Hokusai's painting in different periods. The multi-language exhibition sign for the displays, which is nice to foreigners. There are also two special exhibitions on when I was there, and you will need to pay the extra for them (not expensive, 1000 yen for total, including regular ticket).

Really nice museum to learn about Hokusai and enjoy his incredibly detailed works of art. Ticket system is very confusing. I recommend to buy the ticket that gives access to everything. Level 4 has the permanent part that explains about his life and the background, while level 3 has special exhibition with originals shown.

Small but very interesting museum with a great collection of Hokusai. The museum shop has a nice selection of fun items. Went to see a very well curated special exhibit “The Hokusai Bird Park”. In contrast to the traditional art collection, the building itself is a gem of contemporary architecture by Sejima Kazuyo.

Wonderfully curated museum with interactive tablets in the permanent exhibition. We didn’t realise how many art styles Hokusai had experimented with. What a truly talented and interesting man he was.

This is a small but mighty museum! I thoroughly enjoy Hokusai's wood prints and sketch works so I found this experience to be thoroughly enjoyable. The permanent exhibit has videos in a number of languages that guide you through Hokusai's process and many interactive information panels as well. Their tablet-based displays gave an immersive taste for how he made his one-stroke drawings. The past special exhibition was also incredibly enjoyable as they had recreated some of his sketchbooks for you to hold and touch. Being able to get so close to the works in this way have ensure that I will return to see other future exhibits!

If you know "The wave off Kanagawa" with a view of Mt Fuji. Then you know Hokusai! A wonderful way to get out of the bustle of Tokyo and get to know the neighborhood of Sumida. Sadly no photos in the museum but it was a delight to see all the sketches and art of the elusive personality of a prolific artist. HE LIVED TO AGE 90! He also changed his name as often as his art style.

Small but well curated look into a master painter’s life. Has a large volume of work, showing how Hokusai not only made iconic landscapes, but humorous comics, architectural drawings in both paint and inks

Absolutely loved the collection of Hokusai's work and the history of Japanese art in that period. I did not realise that so much of Hokusai's art was focused around humour and the sheer scale of his work over the 70-80 years that he was active. Obviously, seeing the Great Wave was amazing but also the 7 metre long painting that he made. A lot of his most famous works were not actually the originals but rather recreations because the originals were being conserved.

Their humorous and smile exhibit was like a throwback to how simple life was back in the 1800s. Their permanent exhibit was nice too, but I wish we saw the original “Great Wave” here.

Nice atmosphere with a great gift shop. Really worth the 400yen and time to see the greatest wood block artists work in the flesh.

The museum is kind of small and shows drawings of Sumida Hokusai. The main attraction is the wave of Kanagawa painting which can only be seen in the special exhibition. The wave painting is quite small and there were multiple other paintings that looked more interesting which can be seen in the permanent exhibition. No photography of the art was allowed.
