I wasn't really sure to give this 4 or 5 stars. Maybe 4.4. The overall experience is really rather good, but there are some caveats.
The building is new, clean and well air-conditioned and I think would be okay for people with disabilities. There are a lot of exhibits of samurai armour and weapons, as well as some ukiyo-e prints. However, there are a LOT of exhibits and although the swords etc were beautiful, there were so many that I got a bit tired after a while.
