    Tokyo Shinjuku-ku Kabukichou 2-25-6 Yongwa 6th Building 1F
    This museum is dedicated to generals and samurai of the Warring States period. There are displays of armor and swords by period, and explanations of the origins of the samurai. You can also rent armor to get your picture taken as a samurai! It's very popular with tourists from overseas. They also have an attraction letting you join in a sword battle, as well as lots of events like sword preparation and calligraphy classes. They also sell souvenirs and gifts like replica armor.

    Very engaging and interactive experience at this museum! The guides were very knowledgeable on the history but also had really cool activities at the end (ninja and samurai) to make it a good...

    Tokyo Shinjuku-ku Nakai 2-20-1

    以前九州の炭鉱で有名だった直方市で林芙美子がこの地に住んでいたことから記念碑とか展示を見たことがあるますが、都営地下鉄の中井駅の進行方向後方出口のエスカレーターで出口直ぐを右折すると記念館の案内板があります。傾斜のある坂道にあるので庭からの見晴らしも眺められるように設計されています。この地でいかに過ごされたかを知るのには最適な記念館です。

    Tokyo Shinjuku-ku Nishiwaseda 1-6-1 Waseda Campus 2 Building
    A museum in the No. 2 building on the campus of Waseda University. Aizu Yaichi was an Asian art researcher, poet, and calligrapher who also served as a professor in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Waseda University. The museum displays Yaichi's collection of historical Asian art as well as archeological materials and Ainu folk items. Particular collection highlights include Yokoyama Taikan's Meian and Seison Maeda's Roma Shisetsu. The building is old reinforced concrete, but it is decorated with design touches in every corner, including octagonal carving in the large front doors, hexagonal pillars capped with beautiful capitals, and moon motifs below the handrails in the stairwells.

    早稲田大学の早稲田キャンパス内にあるミュージアムのひとつ。正門を入ってすぐのところにあります。建物は1925年大正14年竣工の歴史的建築物。建物じたいも見所です。會津八一氏のコレクションを中心に展示。入館無料で、展示品は充実しており、観賞が楽しめます。

    Tokyo Shinjuku-ku Nishi-waseda 3-6-14
    A two-minute walk from Omokagebashi Station. This museum, situated along the Kanda River just left of the north side of the Nakano Bridge, is operated by Tomita Some-Kougei, a longstanding dyeing company established in 1882. Here you can see examples of traditional Tokyo Some-Komon (fine-patterned dyeing) and Edo Sarasa (silk calico), as well as purchase chic and modern dyed crafts. The museum also holds dyeing activities from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the third Saturday of the month in which you can dye fabric and have it made into a fukusa wrapping cloth; with an advance reservation for a group of 10 or more people, you can also do this experience on weekdays.

    こちらはさくらトラムの面影橋停留所下車して徒歩4分ほどの神田川沿いにあります。 東京染ものがたり博物館の案内が出ており、江戸時代風の建物があります。東京染小紋の老舗として活動しており、東京染小紋や江戸更紗の実演などを見学することができます。

    Tokyo Nakano-ku Nakano 2-9-7 Naka no ZERO Nishi 4F
    In an age of digital projector planetariums, here you can experience the fun of an old-fashioned optical planetarium. Optical planetariums are still the most common type in Japan and work by shining a bright light behind plates pierced by countless small holes, projecting their patterns on the planetarium dome. This particular planetarium displays around 8,500 stars and planets in an analog recreation of the night sky. Shows are usually only held on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays (excluding special events). One of this planetarium's charms is its live shows, narrated in real time by a live presenter.

    解説員の方が、チケットチェックや案内まで一人何役もこなします。優しい解説と臨機応変の対応で、マニュアルのプラネタリウムとは一線を画します。日本で一番古い機材と聞いた気がしますが、いつまでも残して欲しいと思います。

    四谷界隈を散歩していた時に見つけて興味が湧いたので週末に訪れてみました。石器時代から昭和後期まで、新宿、神楽坂、早稲田周辺とエリアごとの歴史が紹介されています。無料で閲覧できるエリアと¥300の入館料を払う必要なエリアがありますが、有料エリアの方が面白いので支払う価値はあります。ミュージアムショップには、新宿の歴史に関する本や地図が販売されており、漫画で見る新宿の歴史という本を買って帰りました。館...

    こちらは、目白駅より徒歩10分くらいの住宅地にあります。 大正期に活躍した洋画家で、大正5年にアトリエを新築しました様子を復元したものだそうです。 絵の世界はわかりませんが、光が降り注ぐ、まさに画家って感じのアトリエで素晴らしかったです。

Tokyo Areas

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
