Museum Hopping around Japan

Foreign residents introduce their favorites among Japan's over 5,500 museums. Somewhere, there is a museum that will entertain or pique your interest. View fossils not found elsewhere at a museum in Fukui Pref. dedicated to the creatures that once roamed the Earth. Immerse yourself in pop culture at a manga museum in Kyoto. And marvel at the large sculptures at the world's only sand museum in Tottori Pref. Be sure to do your homework about the museums around your destination before coming to Japan.
