Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum
Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum Review
A wonderland of sculpture both playful and profound, the installations and extensive outdoor facility embrace you with the nuances of Noguchi's creativity. The sensitivity and expressiveness of the Japanese-American sculptor are so potent here in his former studio and home that you'll feel as if he's giving the tour himself. The site holds hundreds of his works in stone and other media, although the emphasis tends away from the paper sculpture with which Noguchi is most often associated abroad. Officially visitation requires at least two weeks' advance reservation by mail or fax, but they're not as strict as they sound. A phone call ahead will usually get you admitted. The museum is a 10-minute taxi ride from Yashima Station, or go two stops farther on the Kotoden Shido line to Yakuri before hopping a cab.
