We obviously had a different experience from other foreigners. IMHO: if you don’t read Japanese, don’t waste time visiting this museum. Except for a few displays in English, nothing is translated (and a tablet guide is only available for the room that already has some English). Those displays that are in English are kind of useless unless your an already educated history expert. They just give a bunch of Japanese names, details but fail to provide an overview, a simple and understandable explanation of the bigger picture. So we ended up knowing exactly the same as we came with: that SR was a national hero who played a role in the modernisation of Japan. I was so frustrated that I asked for a reimbursement of the entrance fee, which the reception staff agreed to without any trouble. That’s why I’m giving 3 stars, I really don’t want to spoil their reputation because rhe museum looks fantastic for locals, but I want to make other travellers aware that a visit its pointless with English only :)
