What to do and see in Yotsuya / Iidabashi, Kanto: The Best Museums

October 10, 2021 Misti Hsu

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.

The Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum

Reviewed By dg5345 - New York City, United States

Any person interested in baseball, especially Japanese baseball, cannot miss this. As mentioned in prior reviews it is relatively small, but a baseball fan could easily spend a couple hours viewing the exhibits. If you speak English, be sure to ask for the English information packet at the front desk. Between the limited English signage, the information packet, and Google Translate, you should be able to identify any object you are curious about. It is located in the Tokyo Dome, so a perfect pre-game activity for anyone catching a baseball game at the Dome (although it may be more crowded at that time).

This is an interesting museum, I enjoyed most of the exhibits and hands on activities. Though my kids, 5 and 3, are still too young to understand real science, they still enjoyed the visit. Maybe when they are old enough to understand the descriptions, we can visit again.
