    Tokyo Nishitama-gun Hinoharamura 3221
    This museum is located next to the Kyodo Shiryokan bus stop and, as its name implies, the facility introduces the history and culture of Hinohara Village. Here you can learn about the history of the area spanning some 9,000 years, all the way back to prehistoric times, through artefacts, ancient texts, and other materials. The museum also possesses a hand mirror believed to have been left behind by Matsuhime, daughter of the mighty samurai lord Takeda Shingen, when she ran away and stayed for a time in this area. The museum is closed on Tuesdays unless Tuesday is a public holiday, in which case the museum will be closed the following day.

    Hinohara Village is situated in the mountains of Tokyo. There is a very informative museum where the local culture and history are well presented. I wish to visit again in the future.

    Tokyo Akiruno-shi Itsukaichi 920-1
    "This area history museum is located at the Itsukaichi Keshatsusho-mae Intersection on Hinohara Highway in Akiruno City. The museum introduces how people once lived in the Itsukaichi area as well as the local culture and famous people born here. The museum also displays fossils dug up in the city. The museum's fossil of the upper jawbone of a Paleoparadoxia, an extinct aquatic mammal, was discovered in almost perfect condition and is extremely rare. One of the museum's highlights is its many old and ancient local texts, such as materials concerning the famous Itsukaichi draft constitution. Each week, the museum also holds ""touchable Saturdays"" in which visitors can touch and interact with old-fashioned folk tools and life implements such as a real stone mortar. The museum has made various efforts to make it easy for children to become interested in local history."

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.
