★★★★★2 months agoI’m Japanese, and I was genuinely impressed by the high quality of the Japanese exhibitions in this museum. The exhibits are authentic Japanese items, some of which are still used in Japan today. In addition, the museum covers a wide range of traditional Japanese customs, including New Year celebrations, Hina Matsuri, and even fukubukuro, which was amazing to see, all of which are part of our lived experience in Japan. I would say this is one of the best museums outside Japan for experiencing Japanese culture. I truly appreciate the respectful way in which Japanese culture is presented here.
