Artizon Museum

Reviewed By 564hughm - Sydney, Australia

Impressed by this private art collection with its diversity of European masters (Monet, Picasso and many others), Japanese artists including impressionists and other diverse works. I understand the building was completed not long ago, with exhibition space that is very well thought out and designed. Well worth a visit.

Bank of Japan Currency Museum

Reviewed By geographyguy_11

I am no economist but I do love a good central bank museum. The Bank of Japan was no exception and offers a wealth of information about Japanese history inside its small display. The security staff at the entry were helpful in giving me an English guide to the exhibits, with further leaflets available in the museum itself. It is extremely comprehensive, detailing the history of currency in Japan from gold and silver ingots to the first paper money to the reforms required as the country opened up to the West during the Meiji period. This museum helped me put some of the things I had learnt at other museums in context. There are a set of stamps to collect as you go around and lots of coins, notes and associated objects to inspect. Well worth a trip if you love history, politics or old money!

The Police Museum

Reviewed By AndreaUbok - Florida, United States

We saw the police car, helicopter & motorcycle in front & had to go inside & it was free. The elevator took us to 5 floors of Tokyo police stuff from interactive exhibits where children can dress up to model police & forensic labs. It was interesting & very cool but even more amazing for children if all ages.
