There are tonnes of things to do in Tokyo, including some pretty spectacular museums. This list, on the other hand, is dedicated to the weirder and wackier exhibitions.

Ghibli Museum

The Ghibli museum is situated in the heart of the Mitaka suburbs and features beautiful exhibits from Studio Ghibli. The museum is set out so it feels as if you are stepping into a film, making the experience magical and unique.

Tokyo Trick Art Museum

The maze of optical illusions and 3D paintings will surely bring out your inner child and you can have so much fun with photos here, so bring a friend!

Museum of Sewerage

It might not be particularly glamorous, but the Museum of Sewerage is certainly one of a kind. If you want to do something unusual, there is no harm in checking this bizarre attraction out. Alternatively, if you’re just super into your sewerage, then it won’t disappoint.

Meguro Parasitological Museum

This unusual museum is dedicated entirely to the often neglected parasite. It boasts the world’s longest tapeworm at 8.8 meters. This icky museum is not for the faint of heart.

Shin-Yokohama Raumen Museum

This quirky museum is less about standing behind the line and more about jumping in front of it. It brings to life theĀ Showa townscape so you can step straight into the gloomy, ramen filled past.

Despite what many people may believe due to depictions of sports such as sumo wrestling and martial arts in western depictions of Japan, baseball is actually the most beloved and popular sport in this Asian country. It turns out that itā€™s not just Americaā€™s pastime.

Travelers to Japan that have an interest in this sport can take in a professional baseball game in the worldā€™s second-best league, known as Nippon Professional Baseball.Ā 

The Greater Tokyo area itself has 5 of the leagueā€™s 12 teams, including the Yomiuri Giants, the leagueā€™s most successful team that has won 22 league titles. They play in the world-famous Tokyo Dome which provides spectators with a raucous, almost party-like atmosphere.

Those interested in the history of baseball in Japan can also visit The Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum to learn more about the origins of the game in the Pacific country, dating back to the late 1800s, as well as the figures such as Ichiro Suzuki and Sadaharu Oh that have helped to popularize Japanese baseball to a more international audience.

While many see baseball as only the American national pastime, visitors to Tokyo can easily discover that the gameā€™s popularity extends to Japan as well.
