The Japanese Sword Museum

The Sword Museum has many swords and knives used by ancient Japanese Bugis warriors. You can learn a lot by walking around. The whole museum is very Japanese. It's nice to see it.

The Tokyo Sword Museum is the only sword museum in Tokyo. It houses about 152 swords, knives, armor, and metal craft books. It is a relatively unpopular place, so there are not many tourists visiting, so you can enjoy it quietly.

I tell you today from a painful experience that the museum at its original address in Yoyogi has been closed and has been moved to 1-12-9 Yokoami, Sumida-ku, Tokyo. And it will be closed from February 12th to 18th. Don't ask me how I know that! The information has not been updated. I didn’t check it on the official website myself, so we ended up in vain and spent a lot of money!

The ticket to the sword museum is 600 yen. There are many decorated hilts and holsters. There doesn't seem to be a decent English description of the items on display. The ninja weapons on display are very interesting. The museum provides a brochure on samurai swords for you to enjoy. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the subway station.
