Designed by Pritzker-winning architect Yoshio Taniguchi (who also designed the MoMA expansion in New York), the D.T. Suzuki Museum is dedicated to the life and thought of Kanazawa-born Buddhist philosopher Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki (1870–1966), who introduced Zen Buddhism to the Western world. The museum itself is one of the most architecturally beautiful small museums in Japan - a series of low concrete pavilions surrounding a ‘contemplation space’ water garden of perfect stillness.

Even visitors with no particular interest in Zen philosophy find the museum profoundly affecting - the architecture alone, with its play of light on water and concrete, creates an atmosphere of genuine quietude that is remarkable in the middle of a city. Allow 45–60 minutes. A surprising and moving detour, especially after the bustle of Omicho Market or Higashi Chaya.
