Tokyo National Museum

#thingstodo A massive, astonishing collection of historical treasures that are sure to delight anyone with even a passing interest in Japanese history. The museum's collection is displayed wonderfully, allowing for optimal viewing even when factoring in the crowds, and with everything from finely-forged blades to historic Buddhist relics on display, there's something for everyone to appreciate. As with the nearby Ueno Zoo, the Tokyo National Museum is also incredibly affordable, easily capable of being the day's main activity.
