What to expect

The Tokyo National Museum, located in Ueno Park, is Japan's oldest and largest comprehensive museum, housing over 120,000 Japanese and Asian art treasures, including many national treasures and important cultural properties. The museum complex consists of several exhibition halls, with themes covering Japanese archeology, Buddhist sculpture, ukiyo-e, samurai armor, ceramics, calligraphy, and painting. It is the most complete place to understand the context of Japanese culture.

The main building of the museum is also very distinctive, blending traditional Japanese style with modern architectural elements. Visitors can quickly learn about the art development of Japan from ancient times to the present in the most relaxing way. Whether you are an art lover, a student, a family tourist, or just want to learn more about Japanese culture, this is one of Tokyo’s most worthwhile cultural attractions.
