We will begin our exploration on the 2nd floor, where you’ll learn about Japan's history through the exhibits. On the 1st floor, the rooms are categorized by artifact type, including Buddhist statues, samurai swords, kimonos, and more. The museum also features a well-regarded shop and a stunning Japanese-style garden with teahouses. Additionally, we will enjoy a leisurely stroll through Ueno Park.
