Photographers may only carry a small hand-held camera. Any additional photography equipment as well as wardrobe changes are prohibited. All private and/or commercial photography sessions must be scheduled in advance with our Facility Rental Department.
Media Consent and Release Notice
By entering Morikami’s premises, you consent to your likeness being captured in photos, videos or audio recordings as well as the release, publication, exhibition and reproduction of these. This applies to general visitation as well as special events and community programs.
The resulting content and media assets may be used to promote the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens as a destination.

As such, you waive all rights you may have to any claims for payment or royalties in connection to the above-mentioned.
Please note that, as a popular photography venue and destination, entering the museum also makes you subject to being captured in media created by other visitors and/or photographers exploring Morikami.
