The gallery staff are very welcoming and knowledgeable about the various crafts on sale, providing useful advice to make sure you are happy with your purchase. When I visited, a couple of craftsmen were conducting demonstrations on their work, and one member of staff in particular who spoke excellent English went out of her way to translate what the craftsman was saying throughout the session! It was hands-down the best place for quality souvenirs that I saw during my time in Japan.

At first I was hesitant to give Suntory Museum a try. However, I ended up liking the museum so much that I visited twice, and I thoroughly enjoyed it both times! No pictures are allowed but the exhibits were so beautiful that they left a lasting impression in my memory. Yes, the museum is small and the admission is more expensive. On the plus side, the atmosphere is great--less crowded than the bigger museums, quiet, spacious--and the quality is excellent. I like that the museum has a small collection of high quality items rather than hundreds of items that are not so memorable. The museum store is also a nice place to browse. It has reasonable prices and doesn't feel too touristy. The Suntory Museum is conveniently located in Tokyo Midtown, a high-end shopping mall, which is also a nice place to window shop or grab a bite to eat. It is connected to Roppongi Station as well, so it's easy to get to via public transportation. Tip: You can get a 100yen discount if you show the coupon from their website!
