Asukayama Park and its three museums 飛鳥山公園
Shibusawa's two houses in the park are Cultural Properties; closed from 30/11/2026
A public park on a hill in Ōji, planted with cherry trees at the wish of the shōgun Tokugawa Yoshimune in the eighteenth century, among the first blossom-viewing places open to ordinary people. It holds three museums, each with its own management and ticket (the Asukayama Museum of Kita Ward, the Paper Museum and the Shibusawa Museum), plus two buildings that belonged to the entrepreneur Shibusawa Eiichi: the Bankōro pavilion (晩香廬, 1918) and the Seien Bunko library (青淵文庫, 1925), both designed by the architect Tanabe Junkichi and designated national Important Cultural Properties on 27 December 2005. The Shibusawa Museum, which gives access to the two buildings, closes for works from 30 November 2026 to 19 February 2027.
