Okamoto Taro photographed |
This makes a wonderful half day tour. Start your walking tour from Omotesando subway station. Walk for eight minutes and you will be at the museum. His former residence is now converted into the memorial museum exhibiting his works: just the right building, not too large but cozy in size.
After the visit, try walking for twenty minutes or more (you might get lost on the way so this could be longer but fun to be lost in Tokyo) to Shibuya Station for whatever line (but Inogashira Line is eventually good for this tour).
On the way, you will pass Okamoto's outdoor artwork in front of Kodomono-shiro building. That's on your right.

Take an escalator to the Inogashira Line. Instead of going to its ticket gates, turn back and walk just for a few dozen seconds and you will see the mural done by Okamoto entitled MYTHOLOGY OF TOMORROW.

Photography allowed at the museum inside and outside in the garden.

An ambulance was around; thus less pedestrians on the crossing |
