Inside Tokyo Midtown in Akasaka, FUJIFILM SQUARE brings together a photography gallery and a compact museum of cameras and prints. The Photo Salon changes its exhibitions throughout the year, while the Photo History Museum traces the development of photography through historic equipment and images. You can also look at current Fujifilm cameras and film products. Admission is free, making this a handy stop alongside Roppongi’s larger galleries; allow time for a focused visit rather than a full museum day.
Photography exhibitions in Tokyo Midtown

The exhibitions are free to enter. The salon is small, so it fits well into a visit to Roppongi’s other galleries rather than requiring a long block of time on its own.
Cameras and the history of photography

The displays also cover Fujifilm’s history and its contribution to photography through film and camera products. Together, the gallery and museum make the stop useful for anyone curious about both photographic images and the equipment behind them.
Trying cameras and planning your visit
