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, I recommend the Baseball Hall of Fame Museum in Bunkyo Ward. This museum features a variety of exhibits related to baseball. The permanent exhibition displays baseball equipment used by key players from the 12 professional baseball teams, as well as exhibits related to amateur baseball. But the museum's appeal isn't limited to its exhibits. In the "Event Hall - Science of Baseball" corner, there is a "Batter's Box Experience Corner" where you can experience facing a professional pitcher using video, and there is also a machine where you can search for official professional baseball records. It is sure to satisfy not only those who have just started to take an interest in baseball, but also baseball fanatics. By the way, the museum is within walking distance of Tokyo Dome, the home stadium of the Yomiuri Giants, so you can easily stop by after watching a baseball game.

There's more! Tokyo's unusual museums
Of course, this is not the only unusual museum in Tokyo. There are so many museums in Tokyo that it's impossible to list them all, including the Furniture Museum, which displays furniture from around the world, the Ryogoku Fireworks Museum, which displays a variety of firework-related exhibits, and the Pharmaceutical Museum, run by the pharmaceutical company Daiichi Sankyo. If you're tired of the usual tourist spots, why not try visiting a slightly unconventional museum?
This time we introduced some unusual museums in Tokyo. Each museum has its own unique character, so you'll want to spend as much time as possible enjoying the exhibits. These are some of Tokyo's newest tourist spots to keep an eye on
