A free museum inside the JP Tower adjacent to Tokyo Station, run jointly by the University of Tokyo and Japan Post, displaying natural history specimens, scientific instruments, and cultural artifacts in dramatically lit, cabinet-of-curiosities-style galleries. The curation is genuinely avant-garde — taxidermy, fossils, antique clocks, and ethnographic objects coexist in a way that feels more like art than science. It is one of Tokyo's best-kept secrets and almost always uncrowded. Closed Tuesdays.
