The Tokyo National Museum is the oldest and the largest repository of art and culture in Japan. It is also an education and research facility and has many books and documents relating to Asian art with a special focus on Japanese art and archeology.
 
It takes you through Japan's history and culture; very affordable, comprehensive and well displayed, with English explanations but the audio guide is also very useful.
The museum is located within the grounds of Ueno Park – a beautiful park
