What to do and see in Tokyo, Kanto: The Best Educational sites
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.

It is amazing to see a FLW design in Tokyo and his design is so recognizable throughout this well preserved old building. It was originally started as a school for girls and now it is used for lectures and seminars. There are some early photos - a bit like a museum - but the day we visited there was a lecture on. Just a 5 or 10 minute walk from JR Ikebukuro Station.

The Meguro Parasitological Museum is a private research facility that was established in 1953 with the private funds of a medical doctor, Satoru Kamegai. The museum exhibits about 300 parasite specimens and related material. On the first floor we present the "Diversity of Parasites" displaying various types of parasitic specimens with accompanying educational movies. The second floor exhibits are "Human and Zoonotic Parasites" showing parasite lifecycles and the symptoms they cause during human infection. In addition to research, the museum also performs other activities such as education and provides special publications. The museum has been admission free since it was established. However, running the museum has become more costly, and donations from individuals and corporations provide us with an invaluable financial resource. Therefore, your contribution is essential and will be very much appreciated.

Don't skip this Free museum of weird parasites in glass tubes on display. By the stairs going to 2nd floor make sure you look at the picture book. Only some things are labeled in English but it's still an hourlong tour. The famous 8 meter tape worm is upstairs along with the chigger mite in wax. From the JR Yamanote line to Meguro, take the west exit and walk 1 km . It's up hill from Otori -jinja mae bus stop on the ground floor of apartment building. Lots of locals were headed for it also so you can always ask. T shirts and key chains are for sale upstairs.

A wonderful Museum of Japanese culture. You can know "Objects" and "Soul" of JAPAN at here. We have a lot of exhibit about archaeology of ancient Japan and SHINTO culture also. There are two SHINTO shrine near this museum. The greatest objectives for our Museum are to attract large number of people so that they may deepen their understanding of Japanese culture.
