I am no economist but I do love a good central bank museum. The Bank of Japan was no exception and offers a wealth of information about Japanese history inside its small display. The security staff at the entry were helpful in giving me an English guide to the exhibits, with further leaflets available in the museum itself. It is extremely comprehensive, detailing the history of currency in Japan from gold and silver ingots to the first paper money to the reforms required as the country opened up to the West during the Meiji period. This museum helped me put some of the things I had learnt at other museums in context. There are a set of stamps to collect as you go around and lots of coins, notes and associated objects to inspect. Well worth a trip if you love history, politics or old money!

We saw the police car, helicopter & motorcycle in front & had to go inside & it was free. The elevator took us to 5 floors of Tokyo police stuff from interactive exhibits where children can dress up to model police & forensic labs. It was interesting & very cool but even more amazing for children if all ages.

I have an interest in Japanese paper and whilst visiting Japan I decided to take the train into the city to visit this Washi paper museum and shop. I spoke to 2 American women who had just done a brief course on how to make this Japanese paper called Washi. They said it was fantastic and showed me what they had maid. I watched the historical film on the history of the paper , and walked around at all the fantastic examples of both paper and Japanese Calligraphy. In the shop I bought several pieces of paper and at the till the assistant reminded me that for international visitors you can get a large part of the tax back so if visiting please remember to take your passports. The staff are very friendly offering me water etc only a bit of English spoken but they really make an effort to make the experience great for everyone . I used JR shin-nihonbashi station to get there and it’s a 5 minute walk to the museum .

【Welcome to the KABUKI experience space!】 Have you ever heard of "Kabuki"? Kabuki is Japan's traditional arts and is regarded as one of the world's greatest theatrical art! At the Kabukiza Gallery, props and sets actually used in Kabuki performances are displayed. Not only can you see it, but there are even some props you can even "touch" and "ride"! Kabukiza Gallery is a great way to spend your time in Ginza. Enjoy the wonderful experience of Japanese culture!!

When I was here they have the most expensive GTR on display and it was gold and gray and it was just amazing . The GTR on display costs more than $1.2 million and it is definitely the coolest Nissan I have ever seen in my life
