Top 10 Specialty Museums in Akasaka / Roppongi, Kanto
Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

4.0 based on 10 reviews
“Beni” is the minute amount of red pigment contained in safflower petals. Beni has charmed people with its vivid color and, since ancient times, been used in dyes and makeup goods, as well as paint, medicine, symbols to dispel evil, and much, much more. Since our foundation in 1825, Isehan Honten has adopted a particular method to faithfully continue producing Komachi-beni, a rouge which has an iridescent green glow said to be proof of its high quality. Moreover, at our Beni Museum, visitors can try Komachi-beni for themselves, as well as learn about the history and culture of Beni and Japanese makeup tradition at our permanent exhibition.
