ASAKURA Museum of Sculpture, Taito

The building is now open to the public as a museum exhibiting the collection of ASAKURA's sculptures. Visitors can enjoy viewing the world of ASAKURA and four distinct seasons of Japan.

A Japanese friend introduced us to this amazing museum. Before our visit, we had not heard of the Japanese sculptor Asakura. So our visit was very enjoyable and enlighting. The museum is situated in a small street in a traditional Japanese home, where Asakura once lived. The house is filled with an array of amazing sculptures and art, as well as a pond and a rooftop garden. And it seems that the artist loved cats! The staff had limited English but were kind and helpful. And it was a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon in Tokyo. Highly recommended if you enjoy and have an interest in art and history.

Located at the top of Ueno Park this is a very large museum and is worth a visit to get a real appreciation of Japanese history and culture. My time was limited so only got to see a portion of worth I wanted to see but would definitely return if back in Tokyo.

National Museum of Nature and Science

Reviewed By bgood098

We had three hours to spend and were looking for something to keep our 8 year old occupied. When we asked what she was looking for, she said, “something with fossils, dinosaurs, early humans.” Hmmmm...check, check, and check. There was something for all of us to enjoy. Some exhibits were only in Japanese but many had English translations or were self explanatory. Kids had free admission. Worth a stop!

National Museum of Western Art

Reviewed By PatrickLLLL - Hong Kong, China

One of the few western arts museums in the world which features a great collection of paintings by masters such as Renoir, Manet, Monet, Gaugin and more than a dozen sculptures by Rodin, and offers free admission to the public (on Saturdays). Seniors over 65 can enter free on all days. The Museum itself was the work of Le Corbusier and part of the UNESCO world heritage sites collectively designated under his name. Highly recommended. The annotations are in multiple languages including English. Allow 2 hours at least for a visit.

Shitamachi Museum

Reviewed By matthew330

We went with my 9 year old grand daughter on a terribly raining miserable day. It saved the day for us. The guide in English told us so many wonderful things about living in Japan 100 years ago and taught Maeve how to pray at a shrine, which we did later! After gleamingly new Tokyo, learning about the old days was awesome. The second floor was self guided and included many Japanese toys from 100 years ago. My grand daughter played for well overrun hour with the choices and had a ball. Also upstairs were exhibitions from the early 20th century providing insights into the earthquake of 1924 and bombing of WW 2 that devastated the area. On a miserable weather day, our trip to the museum made this a memorable morning and afternoon.
