Interested in art and architecture? It would be easy to visit famous museums like MORI ART MUSEUM on your own, but how about small but nice art galleries hidden in a town? In this tour we visit such hidden galleries mainly exhibiting modern art works while appreciating stylish architectures on our way. Such galleries just want to nurture artists or introduce their works, so no admission fee is required. While strolling, you’d also be surprised to discover unexpected Ginza!
