Highlights

Recognize the genius of 19th-century artist Utagawa Hiroshige in his namesake museum.
Experience the Way of the Tea during a ritualistic tea ceremony.
Behold Mount Fuji from Miho no Matsubara, a perspective that has long inspired artists.

Description

Delve into Japanese culture by visiting an art museum, enjoying a ritualistic tea ceremony and admiring sacred Mount Fuji. The Tokaido Hiroshige Art Museum holds more than 1,000 woodblock prints from Utagawa Hiroshige, a 19th-century master of the ukiyo-e genre, which typically depicts subjects of everyday life. Hiroshige’s genius for landscape composition and color in works such as “The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido” influenced European painters such as Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh. The tea ceremony that follows will be inspirational in a different way. You will be served traditional green tea in a manner that is a ritualistic art form that will elevate the tea to more than a mere beverage. You will then drive to the seaside pine grove Miho no Matsubara. The grove consists of more than 50,000 pine trees, and the view of Mount Fuji from the shore is considered one of the top three vistas in Japan.
