Traveler reviews
Villagemayor
★★★★★2 years agoan amazing art gallery / museum space. There are regular temporary exhibits. The event space is on the upper floors of the dome. Exposed brick is one of the highlights, as well as the history of the train station. Lots of diorama and access to the souvenir shop. Admission is affordable. Worth a visit.

★★★★★a year agoThis art museum is yet another reminder of how civilised Japan is - a world class art museum just above your main transportation hub?? And to top it off, we were blown away by the masterful works of Finnish artist and industrial designer Tapio Wikkala. A truly memorable experience.
