National Museum of Nature and Science in Ueno Park is a great way to spend a day. It is located in Ueno Park near Ueno station, making it easily accessible from the New Sanno Hotel on the Hibiya Line. Hours are 9-5 and closed on Mondays (it is open for national holidays falling on a Monday, but then closed on Tuesday). Admission is reasonable at 620 yen for adults and free for kids! Special exhibits will be an additional fee. There are two parts to the museum, the first in the main building is the Japan Gallery and deals with Japanese history. You can find Hachiko, the dog from Shibuya, here. The second part is a short walk out to the next building and is where all the “fun stuff” can be found, as my kids would say. Keep in mind that there are three floors up, and three floors down—the first time we went, we didn’t realize there was a down too. On the second floor, there is a complete hand’s on area. Plan to spend at least a couple of hours here, possibly more if you can’t get your kids out. There is a nice gift shop and a café too. |
