Best museum I ever been to. Interesting, interactive and available in English! A lot of information and very friendly , with activities for kids from time to time. Don't forget to download the app!!

Eric Espiritu

The museum is huge. Allocate at least 2-4 hours if you're a museum buff or if you want to maximize the experience. You can get an English audio guide at the ground floor to listen to while walking.

Designed by Yoshio Taniguchi (who also designed New York's MoMA), this minimalist, modern building houses over 300 objects from the 7th and 8th centuries donated by the Horyuji Temple .

The museum has different buildings and a beautiful garden ! It is big and u need some hours to cover all different parts! It’s a good place to know about Japanese culture , art , samurais !

Yuen Haw Hor

Get ready to spend hours in this fine museum which houses artifacts and articles on the topic of Japan from the paleolithic era up to the Edo Period. A must visit while in Tokyo.

Lauren Bates

This was an incredible museum with many historical exhibits that took my breath away. I would love to return and see more someday.

Beautiful & affordable museum . It gets stuffy in the hot months, but plenty of chairs and lounges are available to sit when you need. The national treasures cannot be photographed (but are online!) 😉

Racha

The Museum’s garden is a must visit. Schedule 3-4 hours for this, it’s big, with multiple buildings and sitting outside by the pond is so relaxing!

Paula

Make sure to plan with enough time for this museum as it has a lot to offer and you can easily spend half a day here.

Yukari

Quite perfect architecture and nice exhibition . Must visit place if you are in Tokyo!! Highly recommended!!

Alexey Drozhzhin

Nice museum , 100% worth visiting. Keep in mind though that a) it’s huge and b) they close at 17-00. So would be a good idea to come early.

Andy

There are many great things to see. Best, if you just want to get a glimpse, is to walk through and only stop when something pleases you.

Yann Person

The main exhibition is really impressive! Everything is translated in english, therefore super easy for foreigners :)

Diegoberto Bellamy

Samurai armors and weapons in exhibition are awesome. And be sure to check the ukiyo-e on display.

Hampus Andersson

Great museum . You can wander around for hours. Download their NAVI for an audio for of each room.

Gulbin Him

You can find interesting pieces from Japanese history , from samurai swords to geisha kimonos 🗡👘 a must see in Tokyo

Sabino Diaz

JK

Filming location for drama Hanzawa Naoki where the staircase is the entrance to Tokyo Central Bank

Mariana Stuginski Barbosa

Beautiful building, interesting information! Outside area is also nice!!! Loved!

Stefanie Ladangh

The highlights on the 2nd floor are worth a visit if you need an introduction to Japanese culture . Only 620 ¥

eyeont

Worth the price to see, 3 building to see (another one is closing). Get a discount from a map of Tokyo that you can get from tourist information

Abdulaziz Al Tamimi

Worth a visit specially if you have children with you. Don't miss the 360 Theater experience!

Do not rent the English audio guide . There is no way to control the guide besides the 2 buttons. Play and stop (which resets from the beginning) Huge rip off.

Urs Gubser

interesting expo about biology and origin. Less technical more for kids to explore and learn.

Marc UKG

Get a good overview of japanese history .

Ivan N

Check the samurai suit on 2/F and other ancient military stuffs.

Jeff Solomon

Good collection of art and historical artifacts

Clau🌷

Dont miss the old military exhibition on the second floor!

E.J. Fong

Bring along 100yen to keep your luggage/bags in the free storage (deposit).

This was a slight disappointment. It's more of an archaeological museum . We were hoping for a more historical museum

Sen Peng

None of the most known pieces were at display, it was kind of disappointing!

明治5年(1872)創立の日本で最も長い歴史を持つ国立博物館 。11万3千件の収蔵品、2千件超の寄託品を所蔵 し、日本を中心としてアジア諸地域 にわたる有形文化財の収集、保管、修復、展示 、調査研究、教育 普及を行う。本館、東洋館、平成館、法隆寺宝物館、表慶館、黒田記念館から構成され、中核をなす 総合文化展では年間300回程度の展示 替を定期的に実施している。

障害をお持ちの方はチケット売り場にて障害者手帳の提示で付き添いの方も無料で入場可能です。待機列にも並ばず入場できます。車椅子で表慶館に入場する場合は裏手にあるスロープからになります。館内に多目的トイレは無いので隣の資料館のお手洗いを借りる形になります。

iPhone(iPad)ユーザーに朗報!「e国宝 」アプリが2011年1月から DL開始。 http://itunes.apple.com/jp/app/id413457009 これを携帯しながら館内を鑑賞すると、より理解が深まります。国立文化財機構の4博物館 (東京、京都、奈良、九州) が所蔵 する国宝 ・重文の説明文が手元に。日本語の他、英仏中韓語に対応。外国人のお客様をお連れした時に大活躍

Bia Vaz

O museu em si é lindo.. difícil dizer pra onde olhar já que tudo ali chama a atenção. Vale a pena comprar o ticket em que se vê, além das permanentes, a amostra da temporada. Imperdível!

rakurai_uboa

帝冠様式ここにありと言った感じ(個人的には九段会館とかの方が好きだけど)。 常設展 はまさに美術史・工芸 史の資料集が具現化したような充実ぶり。骨董 に興味のある人にはたまらんだろうなあ。

Pablo Vallejo

Excelente muestra de cerámica, colección de máscaras de Noh, armaduras y mucho más. La tienda de regalos es super recomendable aunque costosa.

Aki Suber

常設展 にも魅力があることが慣れない人にもすぐにわかる素晴らしい博物館 です。他の美術館 や博物館 の常設展 に惹かれる門戸を開いてくれる役割に今後も期待したいです。

Sang-uk Bae

전시품이 많은 편은 아닙니다. 일본도나 일본 갑옷 같은 게 재미있습니다.

Arturo Luna

Procura llevar tiempo y zapatos cómodos porque es un largo recorrido y más si después continuas con rol por el Ueno Park

一階の休憩室の集成タイルが見事です。
