Must-Visit Design Destinations in Tokyo

A designer’s guide to Tokyo’s museums, galleries, and creative spaces.

Edited by the team behind Idea—Japan’s long-running magazine devoted to graphic design and visual culture—Must-Visit Design Destinations in Tokyo presents a curated selection of places that reflect the city’s design landscape.

Rather than a comprehensive survey, the book highlights museums, galleries, design shops, and cultural spaces recommended by leading graphic designers, including Kenya Hara. Each destination is accompanied by photography and concise commentary, offering a considered introduction to Tokyo’s design scene.

Published in a bilingual Japanese–English format as part of the Trip to Japan Graphics series, the book serves as both a practical guide and a visual exploration of Tokyo’s design culture.
