To see the world's premier collection of Japanese archaeology and art, a visit to Tokyo National Museum is in order. The main building contains Japanese art, and a second building houses archaeology. In a third building, the Hyokeikan, the concentration is on 6th and 7th century treasures on loan from the Horyuji (temple in Nara). In the same compound is the Toyokan, which has Asian art. The whole spectrum of Japanese traditional arts are represented--ceramics, sculpture (largely borrowed from temples), prints, lacquer, paintings, screens, scrolls, wood block prints and netsuke, among others. Admission: Y400
