I spent a whole day there exploring first the Japanese art and then the other Asian arts in a separate building. Great museum with complete, informative English. If you want to explore Asian art, this will be a highlight of your trip to Tokyo.
If you visit only one museum in Tokyo, make it this one. The Tokyo National Museum's grand buildings hold the world's largest collection of Japanese art, and you could easily spend an entire day perusing the galleries here. The main building offers a walk through Japanese art history from Jomon to Edo Periods on the 2nd floor.
An amazing Collection of culture and Art from the history of japan. i specially liked the samurai armors and the swords.
The Tokyo National Museum takes you on a tour of Japanese culture by era century by century. Great to check out for an overview of Japan and Japanese culture and history. What I remember most about the exhibits was the impressive Buddha collection and the ornate kimonos!
Great history to learn from this place
