Tobacco & Salt Museum

Unclaimed

I was looking for something to fill the afternoon after visiting the Skytree tower. This place is a little treasure full of fascinating items, particularly the tobacco section on the third floor. But both sections are really well presented. I couldn't believe I was watching a video of the Salt Mine I visited in Poland, near Krakow. In the tobacco section I loved the international collection of cigarette boxes & cards and the large and varied collection of smoking paraphernalia. Only ¥100 entry cost and totally worth it.

Enjoyed 1 hour for 100¥. Didn't expect much but good way to spend some time and look at peculiar smoking devices.

What an incredible museum. Extremely well thought out with fantastic exhibits with both Japanese and English language. If you have an interest in history, salt, tobacco or branding a worthwhile visit.

The museum about tobacco and salt. They are many different kinds of tobaccos. 300yen for entrance fee.

A museum about the history of salt & tobacco use around the world and in Japan. It is very detailed (in English too!) with a lot of interesting things. A bit unusual museum but I can only recommend it. Much more chilled and cool than other popular museums in Tokyo.??
