I love this place! the recent show of the work of Japan's most famous contemporary artist, Yayoi Kusama, ranks as one of my all-time favourite exhibitions. Hijiyama is also a good cherry blossom viewing spot and is a nice place to go for a walk and take a look at the many outdoor sculptures(but I always cheat and get the handy sky-walk up! an escalator up a hill, brilliant idea!) It's an ideal place to go and chill out and wander around. A very peaceful escape from the city!
