Life in Tokyo: Vlog #72 Big Tobacco, Small Museum

October 172009

Posted in museums | 19 Comments »

I don’t smoke. But that doesn’t mean I couldn’t enjoy the Tobacco and Salt museum in Shibuya. Its not the greatest museum ever, surely. But it is worth a peak inside if you are in the area, especially because the entry fee is only ¥100.

Occasionally the temporary exhibit on the 4th floor is surprisingly interesting. The 3rd floor salt area is highly miss-able.

Music:
“100 Cigarettes” by Big Sugar

As for the other museums I recommended:

The Edo-Tokyo Museum
