Tokyo National Museum

Is Tokyo National Museum worth it for a romantic trip?

SkipFor couples in love

Tokyo National Museum is the wrong stop for romance.

If you care about samurai swords, ukiyo-e, Buddhist sculpture and ceramics, this is the deepest and best-curated hit in the country, and it's calm. If you don't, it's a big traditional museum and can feel like homework — the Honkan (main hall) alone is the highlight reel.
