概要[編集]
明治から大正期にかけて大きな財をなした実業家大倉喜八郎が、長年に亘って収集した古美術・典籍類を収蔵・展示するため、1917年（大正6年）に財団法人大倉集古館として大倉邸の敷地の一角に開館したもので、日本最初の私立美術館である。開館からまもない1923年（大正12年）、関東大震災によって当時の展示館と一部の展示品を失い、一時休館を余儀なくされた。1928年（昭和2年）、建築家伊東忠太の設計による耐震耐火の中国風の展示館が完成し、翌年再開館した。その後昭和30年代にホテルオークラ東京の建設のため一部の建物が解体された。解体前の建築は現存する展示館から長い回廊が伸び六角堂を経て表門に至る壮大な建築であった。喜八郎の子大倉喜七郎も近代日本画などの収集品を館に寄贈している。
大倉邸跡に喜七郎により建設されたホテルオークラ東京本館と前述の通り隣接している。眼前は霊南坂という坂道になっており、坂道を介して対面には駐日アメリカ合衆国大使館がある。館の運営者は財団法人大倉文化財団であり、日本・東洋の絵画、書跡、彫刻、陶磁器、漆工、金工、刀剣、能面、能装束、考古遺物など約2,500点と中国の古典籍（漢籍）約1,000部を所蔵し、年間5回ほどの企画展を開催している。

「大倉集古館」簡史：中文有漢寶德的參訪記載。
Back in 1917, an avid collector of Buddhist artwork by the name of Kihachiro Okura established, on his own land, a museum in which to hold and display his treasures. Over the years, this collection was added to by his son, the founder of Hotel Okura, Baron Kishichiro Okura, whose interests included modern Japanese painting, or Nihonga. Today, the Okura Shukokan Museum of Fine Arts houses some 2,000 items and 35,000 volumes — a collection that contains a number of officially registered National Treasures, Important Cultural Objects, and Important Art Objects.

Hotel Okura to reopen with Tokyo's priciest rooms
Makeover of iconic property to be ready ahead of 2020 Summer Olympics
Guests in the Okura Heritage Wing, among the most expensive accommodations in Tokyo, will have views of the skyline, even from their bathtubs. (Artist rendering courtesy of Hotel Okura) © G.A. Design International Ltd.TOKYO -- Hotel Okura said Monday that its flagship Tokyo property will reopen in early September 2019, as competition intensifies for customers seeking luxury accommodations.
The new facility, originally set to open next spring, will begin operations in time for the 2020 Summer Olympics. It will be rebranded as The Okura Tokyo and consist of two buildings with 508 rooms total, about a third more than the original.
The 41-story Okura Prestige Tower will feature 368 rooms with a standard size of 50 sq. meters and offices on lower floors. The 17-story Okura Heritage Wing will have 140 rooms of about 60 sq. meters with widths of more than 8 meters.
The average price of a guest room in the smaller and more upscale Okura Heritage Wing will come to 70,000 yen ($639) per night, 250% higher than before. President Toshihiro Ogita said the price will be "the highest level in Tokyo." Rooms at the larger Okura Prestige Tower will run an average of 45,000 yen to 50,000 yen a night. The building will also contain banquet, wedding and fitness facilities.
The historic Hotel Okura Tokyo opened in 1962 and closed its doors in August 2015 for demolition and rebuilding. Considered one of Tokyo's classic "big three" hotels, along with the Imperial Hotel Tokyo and Hotel New Otani Tokyo, the Hotel Okura Tokyo towered above these rivals as the city's poshest establishment.
The expanding upper class, including in Asia, and increase in travelers to Japan has fueled demand for upmarket lodging. Upon reopening in 2012, the Palace Hotel Tokyo raised prices 120% to about 52,000 yen -- a level even above the big three -- and saw occupancy rates improve.
Hotel Okura also has more than 20 locations abroad, the most out of the big three. "Our name is growing abroad," said Ogita on the reasons behind the rebuilding.
