The 7 Best History Museums in Yotsuya / Iidabashi, Kanto

May 21, 2021 Janean Rudisill

Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

Very interesting exhibits relating to Japans military history, including interesting displays of armour, weapons etc dating back to the early samurais. The WWII section gave some interesting insight into the Japanese perspective on what occurred and why.
