This is an interesting Museum, full of fascinating relics and ancient pieces of history that hold valuable significance, both historically and culturally for Japan. It focuses on modern art in Japan and Asia as a whole, and you can find many different artefacts throughout the four storied museum. Make sure to get yourself a translator, to really get the most out of your experience at the museum. With so much history behind the museum itself and the treasures it holds, listening to the tales behind each piece and how it got there is an important part of your visit to the National Museum. A note worthy visit for history buffs and backpackers alike.
