Suntory Museum
Situated in the green-rich section of Tokyo Midtown, Tokyo's newest landmark, rising 248 meters in height, the Suntory Museum of Art combines the traditional and contemporary elements of Japan based on the concept of "Japanese Modernism." Designed by Kengo Kuma, an internationally renowned architect, the museum exudes a minimalist calm, all rectangular shapes in wood, glass and Japanese paper, which give natural warmth with the soft light often found in traditional Japanese settings and create a soothing and inviting atmosphere as a "parlor" of the city.

The third floor entrance, a large, high-ceilinged room, has louvered windows illuminating the space, whereas the exhibition halls on the same floor and the one above are small, sleek and dark. The sixth floor, where the reception hall is situated, has an excellent deck overlooking the surrounding grounds.
