Top Museums in Tokyo

I suggest downloading the museum's app before you go. It has a map and helpful info about the exhibits. I had the paper map, but the app was way more useful!

My advice is to check out the roof garden after you finish exploring. It’s less crowded and provides amazing views of Ueno Park, plus it’s a great spot to take a breather!

I recommend checking out their pop-up events on their website. I stumbled upon one while I was there, and it added so much to the experience! It felt spontaneous and fun!

My advice is to go on a weekday, especially between 2 PM and 4 PM, when it’s way less crowded. We went on a Thursday, and it was such a bliss!

If you're into photography, plan to spend time in the 'Forest of Light' area. It’s stunning! But get there early before it fills up with people trying to snap pics.

Make sure to wear comfy shoes! You’ll be walking a lot and I wished I had brought my sneakers instead of sandals. Trust me, your feet will thank you!

I recommend checking out the special exhibitions online before your visit. Some exhibits have extra fees, and knowing what's there might help you plan your budget better.

My advice is to grab the audio guide—it's super helpful and really enhances the experience. I almost skipped it, but I'm so glad I didn't!

I recommend checking out the little gift shop after your visit. There are unique souvenirs that you won't find anywhere else, and some are reasonably priced!

My advice is to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. You'll be walking through different installations, and trust me, you don't want to be uncomfortable.

I think visiting on a weekday, especially around 2 PM, could be a smart move. It was less crowded then and I could really take my time enjoying the art.

I recommend checking out the museum's cafe – their themed snacks were a delight! But yes, prices can be a bit high, so maybe just grab a small treat.

I think the museum has a lot to take in, so don't rush through everything. I felt a little overwhelmed and wished I had taken it slower to really enjoy the art and stories.

i suggest you book your ticket online a few weeks in advance. this way, you won't waste time standing in line, plus it can save you a few bucks if there’s a promo!
