Best places: Museums in Minato, Japan

Popular, immersive museum known for its colorful, futuristic digital art installations & photo ops.

Sculptures & painting by 20th century abstract artist Taro Okamoto in his former house & studio.

😐 Visited for the “Sailor Moon” exhibition. The museum itself was easy to access and convenient. As per the exhibition, it is not worth the hype (for me). First, it confused me why the “costume change” video at the start of the tour is phohibited to be videographed even though it’s already seen before...

Botanical gardens with a wooded path, ponds, ancient pine trees, marshes & medieval villa ruins.

Exhibits on space, energy & meteorology geared toward kids, plus high-tech planetarium shows.

Displays exploring Japanese broadcasting from the 1920s to the digital era, plus a viewing room.

👍👍 One of the best places to learn about sake and shochu in Tokyo. They have multilingual info on both and you can try a great variety of sake at an amazingly affordable price (-/+200¥ per cup). Really a must visit if you are looking to know more about sake and/or shochu.

Advertising & marketing museum displaying paraphernalia from the Edo period to the present day.

Rebuilt, late-1800s reception hall popular for weddings, with green grounds & a summer beer garden.

👍👍 旧公衆衛生院の建物を改装して開館した郷土歴史館。 東京大学安田講堂も手にした内田祥三により設計された歴史的建造物を活用した拠点。 常設展示、特別展示もあるが、無料で見学可能な建物自体が素晴らしく、一見の価値がある。 特に旧講堂は、重厚な木造の演壇と階段教室形式で実に趣がある。 建物の周りも緑に囲まれ、晴...

👍 The treasures of the Sumitomo family are always exhibited at the Tokyo branch of the museum in Kyoto, so it's unassuming, and although I look at it coldly and think that there are people who often come to see things like this, I'm sure the curators are willing to come up with various projects. You c...

👍👍 Favorite exhibit in Japan. Blessed to see it. It's free if anyone is wondering. And there is a park right outside so you can take nice pictures in and out of the establishment.

Art gallery in an office building, with paintings & prints by French artist Georges Rouault.

👍 It is a science museum specializing in marine science, typical of Maritime University. I like museums, and university-affiliated museums in particular have their own character, so I came to see them, and I was able to see many more interesting exhibits than I expected. The museum is located in the...

👍 チケットは1200円。オンライ購入だと100円引き、ボーダーのトップス着用で来館すると200円引きになります。 小規模で展示数も少ないため割高に感じますが、ピカソのセラミックに特化した展示は他ではなかなか見ることができないため、満足しています。 作品との距離も近いため、細かな技法や筆使いまで確認することができ...

👍👍 An older male staff member casually approached me and provided some additional explanation. His attitude was not pushy and gentlemanly, which left a deep impression on me. I learned a lot about the history of cameras and the exhibits. I was impressed by the history of cameras, and Utsurun was nostal...

👍👍 It is a very precious museum to know the history of Japanese logistics. There are not many exhibits and you can go around in an hour. There are changes in packaging, photos of the logistics center at the time, and you can learn about the history of convenient improvements. I hope you can dig a litt...

👍👍 It's not even a so-called racetrack, And not WINS either. You cannot buy horse racing tickets here. We have a lot of goods available. At the entrance is a visual of that famous racehorse. Once inside, it feels like a salon for racehorse fans, with a hint of gambling. You can watch race footage on...

👍👍 A very solid contemporary art gallery in an unusual building. One status was to hold an exhibition here. It seems to be gone soon, so I feel very sad.

👍 Recommended for people who like water ports and the solid feel of metal. There is a small prefab (?) on the roof of the building, and it is on display inside. It's small, but it's impressive to see it lined up so tightly. It will be more enjoyable if you have knowledge of the fire service law and th...
