Japan Football Museum

The Japan Football Museum is a sports museum in Hongō that displays uniforms, medals, and personal items from the history of Japanese football. The exhibits are arranged across multiple levels and offer a complete overview of how the sport developed in the country.

The museum was founded in 2003 and covers the period since Japan first played international matches in the 1930s. It has documented how the country grew from a newcomer to a successful team in world competitions.

The name reflects Japan's growing passion for football over recent decades. You can see how the sport has become woven into daily life and national pride through the displays.

The museum sits next to a well-known football stadium and is easy to reach by public transit. The indoor spaces are air-conditioned and well organized, so you can walk through all the areas without getting lost.

The museum has interactive screens where you can watch scenes from important matches as if you were sitting in the stadium. This technology brings the experience to life and helps visitors experience the history rather than just read about it.
