Tokyo National Museum

The museum extends across six buildings housing over 100,000 artifacts, including Japanese paintings, sculptures, ceramics, textiles, and archaeological findings from different periods.

Established in 1872 at Yushima Seido Shrine, the museum relocated to Ueno Park, becoming the first and most extensive national museum in Japan.

The Honkan building presents Japanese art from ancient times through the 19th century, featuring Buddhist statues, sliding doors, scrolls, masks, and ceremonial items.

Entry costs 1,000 yen for adults with free admission for visitors under 18, and the museum opens from 9:30 to 17:00, extending to 20:00 on weekends.

The Horyuji Homotsukan gallery contains religious artifacts from Horyuji Temple in Nara, including small statues and copper relief images.
