Tokyo is known for its huge variety of history, art and oddball museums. At the top of the heap comes the Edo-Tokyo Museum in Ryogoku, the Meguro Parasitological Museum, Miraikan in Odaiba, the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo in Koto-ku, Hara Museum of Contemporary Art in Shinagawa and the National Art Center in Pongi.Some others I have yet to visit are Yushukan (war museum inside Yasukuni Shrine), the Tobacco and Salt Museum in Shibuya, the Tokyo Subway Museum in Kasai, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Museum in Kyobashi and the Tokyo Waterworks Historical Museum near (where else?) Suidobashi station.
Here is a useful but incomplete list of museums in Tokyo.
One GLARING omission is Nippon Copack's Hanger Museum in Asakusabashi.
Traditionalists may be slightly wary to call this a museum, in fact.
