D.T. Suzuki Museum

The D.T. Suzuki Museum Tour offers visitors a serene and contemplative experience. It’s a space to deepen one’s understanding of the ideas and achievements of Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki, a prominent Buddhist philosopher known as D.T. Suzuki. The museum is designed not only to showcase his philosophy but also to invite personal reflection and a moment of quiet amidst the bustle of Kanazawa.

Set in an idyllic landscape typical of Kanazawa, the museum is surrounded by stone, streams, and vivid greenery sloping down from the Kodatsuno Plateau. Your guide takes you through three interconnected wings: the entrance, exhibition, and contemplative wings. Spread out across the different areas are the museum’s three gardens: the vestibule garden, the roji garden, and the water mirror garden.
