National Museum of Ethnology (Kokuritsu Minzokugaku Hakubutsukan)

National Museum of Ethnology (Kokuritsu Minzokugaku Hakubutsukan) Review

The National Museum of Ethnology exhibits textiles, masks, and contraptions from around the world with sensitivity and respect. Displays on the Ainu (the original inhabitants of Hokkaido) and other aspects of Japanese culture are particularly informative. Information sheets explaining the sections of the museum are available on request and supplement the English-language brochure included with admission. The museum is on the east side of the main road that runs north-south through Senri Expo Park.
