You won't get tired of watching it all day! ? A slightly unusual museum in Tokyo

Some people may have a rather stuffy image of museums. However, there are many museums in Tokyo where you can enjoy slightly unusual exhibits! This time, we will introduce some of these museums

Banknote and Stamp Museum (Kita Ward)

Our first stop is the Banknote and Stamp Museum in Kita Ward. Banknotes are an essential part of our daily lives, but it's rare to find a museum that focuses on them as its main theme. Of course, the museum not only introduces and exhibits Japanese banknotes, but also banknotes from around the world. There are a variety of banknotes, including banknotes made from cloth, banknotes made with gold leaf, and high-value banknotes issued during times of hyperinflation, so even non-collectors will find plenty to enjoy. In addition to banknotes, the museum also exhibits a wide range of stamps, passports, and securities

Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum (Bunkyo Ward)


For those interested in sports, we recommend the Baseball Hall of Fame Museum in Bunkyo Ward. This museum features a variety of baseball-related exhibits. The permanent exhibits include baseball equipment used by the main players of the 12 professional baseball teams, as well as exhibits on amateur baseball. However, the museum's appeal extends beyond the exhibits. The "Event Hall: Baseball Science" section features a "Batter's Box Experience Corner" where you can experience playing against a professional pitcher using video, and there's also an opportunity to search official professional baseball records. This museum is sure to satisfy not only those who have just started to take an interest in baseball, but also dedicated baseball enthusiasts. Incidentally, the museum is within walking distance of Tokyo Dome, the home stadium of the Yomiuri Giants, so you can easily stop by after a baseball game
